for example:
A Nuclear Renaissance?
During a hearing on the 2007 Budget in the Senate Energy Committee... nuclear energy shone as a holy grail for solving both oil dependency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions even though Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman had to stress that new reactors were costly and decades down the road.
Some 19 applications for building new reactors are in the pipeline. Loan guarantees, a back-up insurance plan provided by the US Government called the Price-Andersen Act, and sponsored application procedures have stimulated the nuclear utilities. But if and when reactors will actually be built remains to be seen.
