If obama is sincere about expanding nuclear power, then Yucca Flats will be approved to go into operation.
If not, it won't.
And while unions may get expensive contracts to build huge expensive facilities, nuclear fuel will not be delivered to those facilities because the EPA, other enviro bureaucrats and anti nuke lobbies will stonewall over fuel storage and waste disposal among other issues. It will be win win for obama. He gets to posture like a reasonable concerned president, and award his union buddies contracts and his other lobbyists mega bucks for “enviro studies” - all to build empty shells he knows will never go on line.
Watch for it.
Massive amounts of money down one more hole.
