Half-Trillion Dollars for Nukes!
By Karl Grossman (about the author) Page 2 of 2 page(s)
Among the subsidies nuclear power already gets is $20 billion approved by Congress and President Bush only last year. And there�s a law Congress passed, called the Price-Anderson Act, that limits liability to $10 billion for a catastrophic accident -- although, according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, this is a small fraction of what a nuclear plant disaster could cause in property damage, not to mention birth defects, cancers and deaths.
Turning to nuclear power to deal with climate change is like trying to treat heroin addiction with crack. Lieberman and Warner would have us pay for hundreds of billions of dollars for atomic crack.
It's not too late to contact your senators and urge them to vote no on the Lieberman-Warner scheme.
