Taxpayers own nuclear problems

Muskogee Phoenix  April 17, 2009 02:45 pm -THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Taxpayers own nuclear problemsOklahoma Republicans are being very hypocritical in supporting taxpayer guarantees in funding to build massively expensive nuclear plants………………..

We do not need nuclear plants. Solar thermal (not the same as solar panels) and wind could supply the energy without the dangerous polluting of uranium mining.

Who will pay for the medical expenses for the increased cancer rates around Muskogee if the plant is built here? Who will pay for the decommissioning of these plants when they age?

I think the people will pay and big corporations will benefit. What about contaminated nuclear groundwater as has happened in France? We need a town meeting about this important issue before the Republicans rush things through.
