Democrats and liberals being opposed to nuclear is so hypocritical (and this is coming from a liberal.) Renewables are great and fill a void, but there need to be reliable backup options. So you don’t want coal and natural gas? Then support nuclear.
Sometimes a minority party will vote against something that is clearly going to pass just to appease a fringe group of their constituency. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened in this case.
Nuclear power is clearly one of the most viable options both for energy independence – meaning our energy sources are not impacted by volatile global markets – and going green. That said, I don’t want it if Indiana isn’t going to be serious about public and environmental safety. If Indiana can’t stop industry from dumping toxic waste into Lake Michigan every two years, can Indiana stop a nuclear power plant from making a grave mistake? I’m not sure.
I’ve responded here in the recent past about electrical power generation. This article re: the legislature hearing about nuclear power generation possibilities in Indiana is again some big deal announcement out to utility companies they may have the door opened to permit nuclear someday. Before legislators, the governor get all giddy and sip on some pro-nuclear power kool-aid, kindly everyone Google, Vogtle Power Plant, currently being expanded by Georgia Power. There have been cost overruns on top of cost overruns, project delays on top of more construction delays and stop-starts. Units 3 & 4, the units still being constructed are ESTIMATED to cost more than $25 billion, if even that. How about that word ESTIMATED, means open checkbook. And closer to home, and maybe still not forgotten by legislative minds, Duke Energy’s coal gasification plant cost overrun fiasco in Edwardsport, IN that essentially doubled in cost since groundbreaking. Ridiculous!!!!! Engineering fiasco. Vogtle Plant in Georgia…….Google it Governor and legislators. Ratepayers in Georgia will pay dearly for every kilowatt hour of electricity from that plant. That friends is unsustainable. Better start saving so you can pay exorbitantly for a kilowatt-hour electricity. 50 -75 cents per kwh???? Higher yet????
The NAACP opposes clean low-cost nuclear power?
Why on God’s Earth would they oppose that?
I will preface this by saying that I am pro-nuclear power.
It’s probably something like this:
Power plants create hazardous waste, that can leach into the environment or me emitted into the environment. This can have negative public health effects for people living near power plants. Poverty rates are relatively high among POC, so a disproportionate number of POC live near power plants. Thus, the NAACP doesn’t want nuclear waste or a nuclear meltdown happening in neighborhoods with many poor vulnerable people.
That said, if nuclear waste and nuclear power plants are properly managed, it’s not a problem. It would actually be cleaner than coal and natural gas. But humans are generally pretty incompetent and Indiana is pretty bad about environmental oversight, so who actually knows if a prospective nuclear power plant and its waste would be properly managed.
Bring it on we need it soooo badly!!!
Maybe we should replace the state slogan with the “Boondoggle State.” Boondoggles are the hallmark of Indiana energy policy – underscored by the author of the modular nonsense unit bill working its way through the State House misreading his own bill. Nukes have never been built without shifting construction risk to ratepayers – utilities knowing the private sector wouldn’t touch them without making raptepayers wallets their personal bank. Nuclear power is the only electric power technology with a negative learning curve – costs have always escalated, never decline, despite massive taxpayer funded R&D budgets – unlike solar, wind, battery storage, energy efficiency and demand response technologies. NuScale’s modular unit has already experienced $3 billion in cost overruns in the design phase – with the DOE continuing to shovel taxpayer dollars into it. The incompetence of the Indiana General Assembly in these matters is astounding.
