The most significant announcement was that DOE is actually accelerating the GNEP process. The bottom line from this meeting is that DOE is going to skip the demonstration plant step and go directly to commercial scale plants and a commercial sized fast neutron reactor...

The outcome of these two meetings is that DOE is planning on plunging head first into building commercial scale plants. And commercial scale is important, I don’t think anyone actually believes these plants will be commercially, that is, financially, viable.

1. Based on all available evidence,

I believe anything that is done during the B*sh misadministration is an ill-conceived disaster waiting to happen. This, like everything else his corrupt cronies have foisted upon the public, will at best prove to be a failure and colossal waste of taxpayers' money, and at worst a catastrophe of incalculable proportions. God deliver us from this nightmare of incompetence mixed with evil intentions.

or

"Multibillion dollar GOP crony sweetheart deal contracts"???

Recipe for disaster.

4. They're already planning the cover-up of the disaster.

What foresight.
What forward-thinkers they are.
True visionaries.

5. Looks like the EPA story is getting votes

How about considering cross-linking to this story over at that topic?

6. Go ahead, if you like.

So far zero votes for this, I thought the pro-nukes would be jumping up and down with joy.
It will be in the news again a few months from now, it might get more attention then.
