Marysville California is about 20 miles due north of Sacramento, the state capitol. Not surprisingly – based on the paper’s name and location, it is a publication that notices when politicians speak, especially when they say something newsworthy.

You can find the editorial, along with some commentary from readers at Our View: Nuclear power gets fresh look Here is their concluding remark:
A single, quarter-ounce pellet of uranium creates as much energy as three and a half barrels of oil, 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas or 1,780 pounds of coal – without CO2 emissions, according to the NCPA.
