Wrong Turn: The Nuclear Power Subsidies in S. 1151, the "Climate Stewardship and Technology Act of 2005"
A letter of June 2, 2005, from NRDC executive director Frances Beinecke to U.S. Senators.
On May 26, 2005, Senator John McCain and Senator Joe Lieberman introduced a new version of their Climate Stewardship Act that includes massive subsidies to the nuclear industry for the construction and licensing of new nuclear power reactors. In this letter, NRDC urges senators to support a global warming plan that includes a cap and trade program like that in the original Climate Stewardship Act, but which does not include controversial and counter-productive subsidies for the nuclear industry as proposed in the revised McCain-Lieberman plan.
