Despite the post-Fukushima backlash, the United States may be on its way to building its next new nuclear reactors.

On August 9, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued this document, publicly announcing that it had completed its Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) for a limited work authorization (LWA) and Combined Licenses (COL) for the proposed Vogtle Units 3 and 4 reactors at the existing Southern Company nuclear plant of the same name in northeast Georgia.

Although Southern submitted its application to build two new reactors on March 28, 2008, it is still waiting for the green light. For now, this NRC document shows that the initial stages of approval are underway and that the final okay may not be far off.

You know, as soon as Obama finds out, it will suffer the same fate as every other energy project in America. Obama is an envirocommunist, who does not believe in people enjoying life while Earth is becoming polluted by this blight called humans. Of course, that doesn’t include the Democrat elites, his golf friends, or his own personal self and family.
