On the brink of a nuclear power resurgence in America, the once-vilified industry is buoyed by a slate of presidential candidates who seem ready to embrace -- or at least consider -- a nuclear energy future.

When it comes to addressing climate change through minimizing the release of C02 into the atmosphere, Vermont leads the nation. The electrical mix of the Green Mountain State is truly unique: two-thirds of Vermont's total power comes from clean and carbon-free nuclear and hydroelectric energy sources.
 
Vermonters should be commended for their leadership, and for demonstrating their commitment to keeping Vermont's environment pristine and by working hard to make further carbon reductions a priority.
 
There is no doubt that climate change policies will continue to be a key concern for the Vermont legislature throughout the 2008 session, and I firmly believe that nuclear power offers the greatest future potential to continue to reduce C02 emissions to meet the challenges of climate change.

Progress Energy's Shearon Harris nuclear facility received tentative approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its license renewal, but the NRC will accept comments on January 30th.
 
On December 26th, the NRC announced that it "has reached the preliminary conclusion that there are no environmental impacts which would preclude renewal of the operating license for the Harris nuclear power plant."

State governments looking for ways to cope with severe drought in the Southeast should consider using nuclear power to desalinate seawater. This is a safe and proven technology that the U.S. Navy has been using for more than a half-century to provide drinking water for the crews of its nuclear-powered submarines.

A doughnut-shaped building that looks like a sports arena may soon rise beside the Chesapeake Bay - a cooling tower for a huge new nuclear reactor proposed at the Calvert Cliffs power plant in Southern Maryland.
 
The state-of-the-art cooling system would enable the new reactor to recycle water, thus drawing 98 percent less from the bay than the two existing reactors, which opened in 1975 and 1977.

Exelon Corp. (EXC) has chosen a site in southeast Texas as the location of a possible new nuclear power plant, the company said Tuesday.
 
Exelon hasn't yet decided whether to build the plant, which would be located in Victoria County, Texas, but the Chicago-based company plans to submit a combined construction and operating license to nuclear regulators in September 2008. The license would give the company the option to build and operate the plant at that site.

There is good reason that environmentalists such as Moore are jumping on the nuclear energy bandwagon. Nearly 60 percent of our country’s electricity comes from the more than 600 coal-fired power plants now operating in the U.S. Along with all that energy, according to the Clean Air Council, those coal-burning plants also generate 36 percent of our CO2 emissions, 64 percent of our sulfur dioxide emissions and 33 percent of our mercury emissions. By comparison, the 103 nuclear power plants operating in the U.S. produce about 20 percent of our country’s electricity with no such emissions.

In environmental terms, producing that power with nuclear instead of fossil fuels would eliminate the emission of 7.4 million tons of greenhouse gases per year. That’s the equivalent of taking 1.5 million cars off the road.
 
And that clearly adds up to a cleaner environment. That’s the hope of nuclear energy. And that’s the hope of AREVA, which has just as clearly established itself as a world leader in what up until now in the United States has been referred to merely as an alternative form of energy.

Nuclear power, an industry once headed toward certain extinction, is back in play.
With 33 new reactors proposed by the industry and a large percentage of the work force near retirement, a new generation of workers will be needed to build and run America's nuclear power plants. University programs are growing, salaries for new recruits are rising and some companies, desperate for job candidates, are offering signing bonuses.
 
"It is an excellent opportunity for young people to have a job and career that will not be offshored," said Carol Berrigan, director of industry infrastructure for the Nuclear Energy Institute.

Going nuclear over global warming

The Sacramento Bee
December 12, 2007
 
Until the past couple of years, the activists, with their zero-tolerance policy on nuclear energy, have succeeded in squelching any mention by the IPCC of using nuclear power to replace fossil fuels for electricity production. Burning fossil fuels for electricity accounts for 9.5 billion tons of global carbon dioxide emissions while nuclear emits next to nothing. It has been apparent to many scientists and policymakers for years that this would be a logical path to follow. The IPCC has now joined these growing ranks advocating for nuclear energy as a solution.
