http://www.aolnews.com/article/obama-backs-nuclear-plants-with-billions-in-loans/19360343WASHINGTON (Feb. 16) -- President Barack Obama stepped forward as a major champion of nuclear power today with the announcement of $8.3 billion in federal loan guarantees for two new reactors in Georgia proposed by Southern Company, a giant -- and controversial -- step in a nation where no new nuclear units have been licensed since the near-meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979...
While in principle I don't support the use of nuclear power, the pro-nuclear people here and the lack of available options have worn me down. I think we need to pursue other options with great diligence, but nuclear power seems to be an unavoidable evil.
Also, I trust Obama's good judgement.
Just another hole in the boat for those who recklessly apply "liberal" labels to Obama.
