Link to Inhofe National Journal Blog Post: Nuclear Renaissance in Obama's Hands
Washington, D.C. - Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, said that by sending Energy Secretary Steven Chu to Georgia today to tout the construction of two new nuclear reactors, President Obama is trying to take credit for 5,800 nuclear jobs, even though his Administration has a record of actively opposing nuclear power, and his own Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman, Greg Jaczko, opposed the license for these reactors.
