Energy legislation
While it has remained somewhat under the radar, there is a strong effort by Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) to push for much more taxpayer support for nuclear power. He not only wants to remove congressional authority to set a cap on multi-billion dollar nuclear loan guarantees (allegedly for "innovative" technologies," but he also wants nuclear to have a huge amount -- $25 billion a year -- dedicated to a mature industry that can't compete in the marketplace. While his provision may not appear in the energy bill, it is a very good bet that he will try to get $25 billion in nuclear loan guarantees in the Energy & Water Appropriations bill now being negotiated.
