It's on my account too if it goes away. RT @SheilaKihne: @JenDeJournett Screen shot that baby, let's figure out their sponsors
Rather than vote to lift the ban so we could consider increasing nuclear power in Minnesota, the senate decided to kick it down the road, prolonging the place we might have in the cue a few more places behind more logical buyers like India and China. Pat Kessler has a write up, calling the bill 'on hold' (read: still a ban).
A key vote on the future of expanded nuclear power in Minnesota has been put on hold. A senate committee tabled discussion about a plan to lift the moratorium on new nuclear power in the state.
The delay puts the bill in serious jeopardy. It's a signal many Minnesota lawmakers aren't even ready to consider more nuclear power in the future.
Even if Minnesota's moratorium lifted today, it'd take at least a decade and billions of dollars to plan and build a large nuclear facility.
