MOUNTAIN HOME – An energy company looking to build a nuclear plant in Elmore County was the subject of a public hearing in Mountain Home Wednesday.

It has been nearly 40 years since construction began on America’s last nuclear power plant.

Wednesday’s hearing was not about the pros and cons of nuclear power – instead focused on zoning of the land the plant would stand on…………………..

“This meeting is supposed to be about rezone, but the corporation that is seeking the rezone is a nuclear power plant corporation and there’s a whole other issue that we have not been able to discuss at this meeting related to the problems related to nuclear power and toxic waste storage,” resident Diana Hooley said.

Any attempt to talk about anything but zoning was quickly shot down by officials.
