Schuyler County landed on a state list of possible sites for a 1-gigawatt nuclear plant — but local leaders say it won’t happen, according to The Odessa File.
SCOPED Director Judy McKinney Cherry confirmed the county expressed interest to stay involved in future energy talks. But she made clear Schuyler lacks the infrastructure to host a facility of that size.
The real goal? Positioning the county for future opportunities in smaller, safer nuclear tech that could drive economic growth.
