House Dem. Energy plan
House Dem. Energy plan
(OP)
Here is a link to energy plan presented by House Democrats
http://en ergycommer ce.house.g ov/index.p hp?option= com_conten t&task =view& id=1560&am p;Itemid=1
Note there is link to summary and full text at the bottom of the page.
Doing text-search of the full document, I find very few references to nuclear.
I conclude that this represents a continuiation status quo regarding energy policy act of 2005 which provided for incentives/loans for the first round of nuke plants. i.e. neither an increase in incentives etc from what is already in place legislatively. Would you agree?
I also noticed something about developing incentives for fossils and nukes to somehow use or recover waste heat rejected. I'm trying to imagine what kind of technology would be used there. Any ideas?

It just struck me as odd that they would focus on heat rejection rather than efficiency. It makes it sound as if there some concern about contributing to global warming based on the heat rejected in power plant condensors or something.

I see this misconception frequently in blog arguments from anti-nukes.
RE: House Dem. Energy plan
The overall intent is to destroy the US economy by throttling future energy development of anything but the "exotic/inefficient/low power/no payback" but ecologically-popular methods.
