Obama to roll out first nuclear plant loan guarantee next week

By GottaLaff

Why? So we can create more waste that we can't store? That will last a kajillion years?

President Obama will next week announce a federal loan guarantee for utility giant Southern Company to build two new nuclear reactors in Georgia, an administration official said.

The Energy Department loan guarantee will be the first devoted to nuclear plant construction under a program authorized in a 2005 energy law.

President Obama and I do not see eye to eye on this at all.

End of nuclear waste limit urged

The Bush administration said there are no technology constraints to a major expansion of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste site near Las Vegas, calling for possibly tripling the amount of highly radioactive used reactor fuel that could be stored there.

In a report to Congress, the Energy Department asked that the current capacity limit of 77,000 tons of waste be removed to accommodate all of the waste expected to be generated at commercial power plants, many of which are likely to operate for at least four decades.

No further comment. I'm running out of acceptable language.
