  This Article is FULL of inaccuracies

  Anyone who has followed the development of the loan guarantee program knows that it is one of the most effective ways to bring new, clean energy technologies to market quickly without costing taxpayers anything. Yes, it includes nuclear, but the focus of the program is also on cellulosic biofuels, clean coal with carbon sequestration, and emission-free renewables.

  The Times article is wrong to ignore the massive effects the loan guarantee program is going to have on renewables.

  Further, the LG program was instituted in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, not the recent energy bill, and it has never been "buried" by any means. Domenici has publically spoken about this program countless times, and it also has the support of a huge array of lawmakers and environmentalists.

  The NY Times is so far off on this article, they should run a correction.  It's not a secret, it's not an underhanded way to promote nuclear over renewables, and it's not an irresponsibly-designed program. One would think environmentalists should be shouting this program from the hills for all it could do for renewables and cellulosic biofuels, not decrying it without examining the facts.On Your government at work posted 2 years, 4 months ago 7 Responses
