The buzz I've heard, and I'm not sure how to conferm it, is that quietly eight nuke construction permits have already been filed. Some several years back.
The part of the bill I like is the ethynol tax breaks and requirements. While it is going to mean more cost at the pumps it keeps the farmers happy producing a renewable resource and industrial construction types (like me) busy building the plants.
