Dairyland Power CEO Brent Ridge has been appointed to the policy advising task force at the Nuclear Energy Institute.
The task force is charged with guiding the institute on policy related to spent nuclear fuel. Ridge says nuclear energy has to be part of the discussion on climate change, noting it needs to be part of the equation for carbon-free or low-carbon emission power along with being reliable and affordable. Dairyland powers around 600-thousand homes in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois.
