A group of Fresno businessmen announced Wednesday that they have formed a corporation and signed a letter of intent with a power-plant developer to explore plans for a nuclear reactor in Fresno.
But with a California law banning new nuclear plants until the federal government comes up with a plan for safely disposing of spent fuel — and with federal plans for such disposal in limbo — the Fresno group's efforts could well be in vain, anti-nuclear groups said.
Still, the backers of Fresno Nuclear Energy Group LLC are optimistic, noting that new federal incentives for nuclear plants and California's growing need for electricity sources that don't emit greenhouse gases could improve their prospects.
WHEEEEE! :D
Tha's gonna be a political circus even if the intent is good.
