Obviously, energy was one of the primary topics of conversation at the meeting so Carney was forced to discuss his plan for decreasing energy prices.
In the video, Carney emphasizes that there are certain things that Northeastern Pennsylvania has to start doing on the energy front (transcribed below):
"We have within the Northeast and center part of Pennsylvania a lot things that we need to do. We have coal that we can start leveraging the good clean coal technologies. We have to do that. We can do nuclear here."
The inclusion of nuclear energy is not something I've seen from either Hackett or Carney in their energy platforms. Most of the time, their discussion of alternative technologies refer to solar or wind power.
Therefore, Carney's proposal to bring a nuclear plant into the district (let alone his support of nuclear energy) was something of a surprise. It'll be interesting how much he expands/clarifies that proposal down the road.
