BBC Report on American Nuclear Renaissance
The below audio is the result of an investigation about the prospects for an American Nuclear Renaissance produced by BBC reporter Julian O’Halloran. Mr. O’Halloran’s report contains a few misconceptions – like the idea that it is only concern about climate change that is encouraging a new look at nuclear power and the idea that Mark Cooper is a reliable source of information about nuclear plant economics – but it is interesting and worth hearing. I like to look at my own situation from other people’s eyes, that is one reason why I like reading and listening to news reports from other countries that are about American topics.
Regulated to oblivion. This Westinghouse/Public Utility construction project was flawed and delayed and the inherent cost overuns are built in to get rate payer dollars. It is fraud plain and simple. Fraud and coruption need to be delt with before any renaissance comes about…..any where in the US.
