[Terrapreta] interesting twist

[lou gold]

"On Thursday, a Senate subcommittee approved a bill to establish a
cap-and-trade system for carbon dioxide, and the Democratic leadership is
eager to have the Senate pass it by year's end. ...

Some companies are already counting on paying such a bill. In October, NRG,
an electric company in Princeton, N.J., made the first application in three
decades for permission to build a nuclear power plant. In an interview, the
chairman, David Crane, said his calculations showed that such a plant would
be cost effective if the price of carbon dioxide emissions ran into "double
digits" per ton."

Hmmmm. It looks like concern over GHGs may make Nuclear Power financially
feasible.
I guess you can blame it on the environmentalists. What about that!
