Southwest Michigan is becoming the epicenter of America’s nuclear renaissance with the NRC’s recent approval of Palisades’ operating license. This marks the first time in U.S. history a previously shutdown nuclear facility has been approved for restart.
I’m proud to have helped secure $300 million in state funding to support local jobs and boost our economy. The reopening of Palisades will create or retain over 600 family-sustaining jobs, with more than 1,000 additional jobs during maintenance periods.
By providing clean, reliable power to over 800,000 homes, Palisades positions Michigan as a national leader in the clean energy transition and helps us meet our clean energy goals.

Appreciated everyone being there yesterday. It was an honor to stand with all of you fighting for this project and what it means for our community.
The money was secured. The federal government promised the money. The state promised money. The state money is coming through, but the federal government is going back on its word.
This is an on-the-ground illustration of the negative impacts we're seeing in the federal budget.
Projects like this need to move forward.
This budget isn’t just a small hit. It is a heat seeking missile going to the core of everything we have been trying to accomplish in this state, in this country, for a long time.
