Nuclear ‘renaissance’ stalls in Minnesota

Bill to lift nuclear plant construction ban stalls in Senate committee, POLITICS IN MINNESOTA,  by Charley Shaw, March 4,2010,
Last year, the state Senate passed a bill that lifted the state’s moratorium on nuclear power plant construction.

This year, the fate of the same proposal is now bogged down in a Senate committee. On Thursday, the Senate Energy committee approved a controversial amendment….As amended, the bill  bars utilities from charging ratepayers for construction costs before a plant is completed. Doll’s amendment also requires that a federal nuclear waste repository be created before any new Minnesota construction.
