Heritage Foundation – Jobs and the Nuclear Renaissance

ByRod Adams

Jack Spencer at the Heritage Foundation is hosting a Capitol Hill event on September 15, 2008 called American Jobs and the Nuclear Renaissance.

Nick Loris has posted the details on the Heritage Foundation Blog – The Foundry.

I think it might be time to take a few hours of leave from my day job to visit and chat with others who are interested in the nuclear industry’s job creation ability. In our current economy, we need all of the jobs we can get for skilled engineers and manufacturing technicians.
