But a federal court said that the NRC didn't detail what the environmental consequences would be if the agency is wrong. "We are now considering all available options for resolving the waste issue," the five-member NRC said in a ruling earlier this week. "But, in recognition of our duties under the law, we will not issue [reactor] licenses until the court's remand is appropriately addressed." There are 14 reactors awaiting license renewals at the NRC, and an additional 16 reactors awaitingpermits for new construction. We all know how Obama feels about American energy sources.

How about his plans to cause energy prices to skyrocket? Ultimately, it'll be up to lawmakers to find a solution to long-term nuclear waste storage, but their track record on the issue hasn't been good. Nuclear waste disposal has been a daunting political question that is still unanswered after decades of study. Continue reading>>> | | | |
