Both candidates are looking at increasing the country's number of nuclear [or nucular] power plants by as many as 45 by 2010. In an effort to curb rolling brown-outs from an outdated power grid, and to curb dependence on oil, nuclear power is being touted as the savior. BeyondBeyondDC asks "would you like to have a nuclear plant next door to you?"
These plants will need to be in close proximity to major urban populations for them to provide full effect, and they will need a water source for cooling. One logical location could be next door to the National Harbor.
Then there's the outdated, antiquated, and biased local zoning regulations which would be used as mechanisms to prevent these facilities. BeyondBeyondDC supposes that the plants will be OK, as long as they provide 2 parking spaces per each kilowatt of power generated, along with a 15-foot landscape buffer.
