Federal loan guarantees are currently essential to restarting the US large reactor program after 30 years in which no construction was begun on any new commercial reactors following the Three Mile Island incident, even though no one was harmed in the slightest despite a complete core meltdown that was fully contained (not counting tiny initial releases of radioactive vapor to reduce pressure in the containment structure from hot reactor cooling water when a relief valve failed to reset).

The existence of nuclear powered submarines should tell us that nuclear power can be used safely, effectively, and cheaply.

I support the use of nuclear power in the US and especially the expansion of nuclear generation in our country.

Nuclear is safe and reliable. The professionals who work in this industry respect and understand the technology and are highly trained to operate and maintain the units. Controls are strict beyond regulation and excellence is a moving target that is highly sought after

It is time to restore American leadership in the development of nuclear power.

From Englewood Florida, certainly support a balanced energy delivery system--which includes a reasonable % of base load, mostly carbon free Nuclear Power

time to act and not fall further behind in energy independence and to maintain our nuclear power industry.

In the current weather havoc, the nuclear power plants are performing flawlessly, with no carbon emmissions. These industrial project create massive high tech job growth throuout the economy.

I support Vogtle & Summer plant completions, including loan guarentees to reduce carbon emmissions and provide safer power.

With all the federal and state mandates for supporting intermittant energy sources like wind and solar, its about time we got some support for power sources that generate zero carbon power 24/7 !!

I wish that any new nuclear plant was a Molten Salt Reactor, proposed years ago by Alvin Weinberg (and on which China and other countries are working).
While waiting for the advanced MSR reactor, I support the nuclear plants available now over the other solutions: Coal and Gas (disastrous for the environment), and the unreliable and chaotic solutions based on Wind & Solar.

Loan guarantees are far superior to outright subsidies, and valuable tools for developing reliable, secure, and near-zero-carbon energy solutions.

Nuclear is the best buy for American taxpayers.

Why not. The upfront costs might be steep but are quickly paid back once up an running. The amount of power and the lifetime of the energy makes up for it in flying colors

Absolutely, loan guarantees are the best buy for American taxpayers, and nuclear is an excellent chopice for long-term return on both the investment and energy security.
