Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 GLOWING REVIEWS FOR NUCLEAR POWER http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0329/p12s02-usec.html " A quarter century ago this week, a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island [in Pennsylvania] underwent a partial meltdown... Since that time, no American utility has dared to build a brand new nuclear power plant... [but] power blackouts, rising natural-gas prices, and concerns about greenhouse gases have changed public attitudes, " writes David Francis. An Associated Press story claims: " By most accounts, nuclear power is back in style. " But nuclear power critics have planned 48 actions in 18 states marking the Three Mile Island anniversary. An alert about nuclear industry subsidies in the federal energy bill notes: " The industry trade and lobby organization, Nuclear Energy Institute, had contact with Vice-President Cheney's energy task force 19 times -- reportedly more than any other interest group or trade industry.
