Sen. Domenici tries again to boost loan guarantees for nuclear power plants

Posted at 9:56 AM on 18 Dec 2007

The multifaceted appropriations bill making its way through the Senate contains language that would raise the limits on loan guarantees for new nuclear power plants. The language was added thanks to tireless nuclear booster Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), who has tried (and so far failed) to raise loan guarantees for nuclear plants by inserting provisions into the energy bill, the energy and water appropriations bill, and the farm bill.
