I’m interested in the specifics of his plan for nuclear plants.
Is he planning to have the government build these plants? Will they be in competition with the privately owned electric utilities?
Or is he planning subsidies to the utilities to promote nuclear power?
All any president needs to do is open Yucca Mountain to handle the spent fuel until Congress can pass legislation getting intervenors out of the way of reprocessing. Then the utilities will be falling all over themselves to build new plants.
Additionally, Breeder Reactors have the potential to develop considerable power.
On the one hand, I don't want government Bureacracy in the way.
On the other hand, I would hope that the government would defray costs and help with making sure nukes are safe (from terrorist attack, etc).
