NEI identifies key nuclear energy incentives for U.S. climate bill
The Nuclear Energy Institute is urging Congress to include a robust package of tax incentives and loan guarantees for nuclear-power facilities in the climate-change bill. "Financing is the single-largest challenge we face in trying to build new nuclear-power facilities," said Alex Flint, NEI's senior vice president for governmental affairs. The group also is seeking more incentives for addressing nuclear waste and additional funding for nuclear research and development. Reuters
