The quiet comeback

Posted at 8:37 AM on February 2, 2008 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

Gov. Pawlenty has proposed lifting a moratorium on nuclear power plants in Minnesota. The nuclear industry's comeback is just behind a calculated schedule by the Department of Energy that was set in motion long before the price of oil started its meteoric rise. It's prompting an aging generation to try to rev up its no-nuke machine one more time.

So, who would be willing to have a plant near them? Many Minnesotans already do.
