Nuclear future bright for Eunice, New Mexico
Nuclear future bright for Eunice, New Mexico
Eunice in New Mexico, population 2,700, is expected to grow by about 1,000 people in the next year or two - workers needed to build and operate the Louisiana Energy Services' $1.5 billion uranium enrichment plant there that recently was approved by state and federal regulators.
Anti-nuclear critics say its a fool's bargain, but Eunice and southeastern New Mexico are betting on a future in which nuclear energy is in demand, uranium enrichment is a growth industry and some of the associated profits will flow into Eunice.

How Green is Nuclear Power?
How Green is Nuclear Power?
By Mark Clayton, The Christian Science Monitor
Nuclear Power is an idea that may be catching on. At least 11 new nuclear plants are in the design stage in nine states, including Virginia, Texas, and Florida, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute website.
But that carbon-free pitch has researchers asking anew: How carbon-free is nuclear power? And how cost-effective is it in the fight to slow global warming? asks this article from CSM, read the full article here @ KVOA, Tucson

Claims from certain quarters of the American left to be genuinely interested in energy independence are ringing hollow. And it is painfully obvious because opposition to just about any kind of energy development comes from, you guessed it ... the left, says this opinion article from The Daily Interlake

Reusing Spent Nuclear Fuel in USA
Reusing Soent Nuclear Fuel
A U.S. Department of Energy initiative to reprocess spent nuclear reactor fuel is trying to find a home for a facility. Fred Kight reports the Bush administration says the plan is a means to safely expand nuclear energy. Critics of the initiative say it's unsafe and unwise.
