Nuclear Power Plans for More Disasters

[nationalize the fed]

18. If the Government is serious about Global Warming what are they doing

allowing new nuclear plants on coastlines? They are only serious about a new tax and exchange scheme to further rip off the useless eaters.


Locations of new reactor cores and nuclear plants

Soon after its passage, The Washington Post critically analyzed the legislation and found that the nuclear industry received serious concessions from the government in the Environmental Policy Act of 2005...

"The bill's biggest winner was probably the nuclear industry, which received billions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks covering almost every facet of operations. There were subsidies for research into new reactor designs, "fusion energy," small-particle accelerators and reprocessing nuclear waste, which would reverse current U.S. policy. Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Tex.) even inserted a $250,000 provision for research into using radiation to refine oil...The bill also included $2 billion for "risk insurance" in case new nuclear plants run into construction and licensing delays. And nuclear utilities will be eligible for taxpayer-backed loan guarantees of as much as 80 percent the cost of their plants...

...Because of the enormous costs involved, the nuclear industry requested more loan guarantees from the government, totaling $100 billion. In February 2010, President Obama, who ran on a pro-nuclear platform, negotiated with the companies and added $36 billion to the budgeted $18.5 billion, bringing the total of $54.5 billion to the Presidential 2011 Budget for the DOE loans.

Using nuclear fission to boil water is one of the most absurd things humans have managed to ever dream up. For Shame.

A Fraction of the nuke dollars invested in Solar/Wind/Hydrogen would actually make huge differences. But Washington DC doesn't want energy independence, they want energy dependence.

More proof that Obama is really an 80's republican, as he states himself.
