MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill (Passed)

[LeBron]

When it comes to energy efficiency, I like to look for more cost effective and safer ways to address the issue especially solar energy panels.

So I'm not a huge fan of nuclear power plants either, and I would prefer to see an added clause to forbade the construction of any new nuclear power plants, but I like the intent of this bill to better stop nuclear waste from building up. Just the cost is kind of unsettling with nuclear energy becoming a thing of the past. I'm just not sure we that many new reactors.

I agree that solar is the way to go, however, having a diversified energy sector which includes much safer Nuclear Reactors is the way to go. I am not a fan of banning all future construction of Nuclear Plants, but we can add language making it so only WAMS Reactors are allowed?

I would be okay with that, and the amendment's friendly!

That's actually a really good revision. I would have never thought to do that, honestly. The original bill only covers CO, SD, MN and IA, but neglects ND and other states that have very serious problems with toxic waste evisceration. I support the amendment.
