Does not sound like US built nuc power but we are paying to build power plants for everyone else.

“The Bush administration has ear-marked $20 million in its 2009 budget toward the US Department of Energy’s efforts to design nuclear power plants in the 250-to-500 megawatt range as part of its Global Nuclear Energy Program (GNEP).”

WOW! 20 whole million!

Well, maybe that’s all we have left after giving Fatah $500,000,000.00 and planning on $375,000,000.00 to the KLA terrorists in Kosovo this year.

I remember reading a while back that Mitsubishi had something like this already and we were going to buy some. IIRC, some French company said they could safely reprocess the fuel.

Bush has totally failed on energy. He should have came out swinging from day one. If he had, most of these nuclear plants and oil production in ANWR would be online now.

There's already talk of gas topping $5 a gallon.

""Atoms for Peace" was the title of a speech delivered by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower to the UN General Assembly in New York City on December 8, 1953.

I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new—one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use.

That new language is the language of atomic warfare.

The United States then launched an "Atoms for Peace" program that supplied equipment and information to schools, hospitals, and research institutions within the U.S. and throughout the world."

Atoms for Peace.
