Are they planning on replacing the electricity from another source?

“Are they planning on replacing the electricity from another source?”

They’re considering using unicorn farts.

PGR88 :" Are they planning on replacing the electricity from another source? "

From Answers.com :
"According to the US Dept of Energy, the last (currently active)reactor built was the "River Bend" plant in Louisiana.
Its construction began in March of 1977.
The last plant to begin commercial operation is the "Watts Bar" plant in Tennessee, which came online in 1996."
So, the last operating nuclear power plant was built over 25 years ago; the average commercial nuclear power plant is productive for about 25 years,
at which point the license may, or may not, be renewed by the Dept. of Energy.
The power plants are owned by the DOE, but licensed to commercial vendors, and are considered Federal property.

Always know where the closest nuclear power plant to your location is located and who it supplies;
generally speaking, the closer your supply of electricity via nuclear power, the more reliable and cheaper it remains.

I don't know what other source it would be; Eastern Washington is already filled with wind farms. Maybe they'll put some wind turbines on Mt. Rainier.

No.

It seems the left does not want us to have a truly reliable green source of energy.
