The Illinois Green Party is a political organization based in Wheaton, IL, dedicated to promoting a carbon-free and nuclear-free energy future. They oppose HB5589, a bill that seeks to repeal the moratorium on new nuclear reactor construction in Illinois, citing environmental concerns, risks of catastrophe, and the lack of a proper federal storage facility for nuclear waste.
The party advocates for policies such as barring the licensing of new nuclear power plants, eliminating subsidies and tax breaks for nuclear power, and directing private companies to decommission existing nuclear power plants. They emphasize the need to shift towards carbon-free and nuclear-free renewable solutions to address the climate crisis.
