CT is asking towns to host new nuclear energy sites. The reaction hasn't been energetic
Áine Pennello
Amid rising oil and gas prices, Connecticut officials are canvassing the state, asking communities if they’re interested in hosting a controversial form of power: nuclear energy.
Hartford, Ct. — March 06, 2026 — U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy and congressman John Larson participate a press conference at the Legislative Office Building, March 6, 2026. During the event, Murphy said about the war in Iran, “Either this is just an air campaign, or this is ultimately going to result in US troops on the ground in Iran? Either one of those strategies will not work. There is no history that an air campaign by itself can lead to the toppling of a despotic regime replaced by a democracy, nor the eradication of Iran's nuclear program. Iran's nuclear program is buried underground the key elements of it, and so to get rid of Iran's total nuclear program, you cannot do that through the air. The alternative, of course, is much worse, a US ground invasion of Iran, which would result in 1000s of Americans dying and trillions of our dollars being wasted.”
