No new nuclear power plant had been allowed licensing since before the Three Mile Island accident, in the 1970's, until recently, when Obama allowed licensing of two near Atlanta.
The world must move away from nuclear and fossils fuel power sources, not help and encourage them to grow! The funding for such programs should go to renewable energies and get them to become realized and more plentiful more rapidly.
Mr. Obama, why are you, who has claimed to endorse progressive, positive environmental goals, going back on your pledges on this extremely important issue?
Stop licensing any new nukes!!
