The bill is S2795 and we must very carefully watch this and act to stop it
March 22, 2012 "Obama Administration Announces $450 Million to Design and Commercialzie U.S. Small Modular Nuclear Reactors." --The Obama Administration and the Energy Department are committed to an all-of-the-above energy strategy that develops every source of American energy, including nuclear power, and strengthens our competitive edge in the global clean energy race," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "Through the funding for small modular nuclear reactors announced today, the Energy Department and private industry are working to position America as the leader in advanced nuclear energy technology and manufacturing".

Nuclear energy is not clean. Ever. Could this Obama new policy have anything to do with Senate bill S2795 being introduced in the Senate recently?
"Still, the relationship between Mr. Obama and Exelon has been mutually beneficial"" says the New York Times, August 22, 2012, "Ties to Obama Aided in Access for Big Utility."
"The ties go back at least to Mr. Obama's tenure in the Illinois State Senate, when he befriended an Exelon lobbyist named Frank M. Clark. Exelon's employees, including Mr. Clark, were among the biggest financial supporters of Mr. Obama's United States Senate campaign, with donations also from Mr. Rowe, then the company's chief executive, and others in the executive suite, campaign finance records show.
"Exelon's employees have contributed at least $395,000 to Mr. Obama's federal campaigns. By far the strongest link is with Mr. Rogers, the Exelon board member and family friend. A college classmate of Michelle Obama's brother, he was co-chairman of Mr. Obama's inauguration committee and still occasionally plays basketball with Mr. Obama.
"He is one of Mr. Obama's biggest campaign donation bundlers, having raised more than $500,000, and has co-hosted several fund-raisers, including one in March that featured a performance by the Grammy-winning musician John Legend. (A spokesman for Mr. Rogers said he had not contacted Mr. Obama or any administration officials on Exelon's behalf.)
"Another Obama bundler is William A. Von Hoene Jr., who oversees Exelon's legal and lobbying team out of Chicago, despite Mr. Obama's rule against accepting contributions from lobbyists. Mr. Von Hoene is not a registered lobbyist, although records show he attended a White House meeting to push Exelon's cause."
