Hoyer: Calvert Cliffs first in line for nuclear loan guarantee

Lawmaker: Md. nuclear project is "first in line" for loan guarantee
The Constellation Energy-EDF joint venture to construct a nuclear plant at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland is now the "first in line" to secure a loan guarantee from the federal government, said Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Though the project has yet to receive final approval for the guarantee, Hoyer said he is keeping in touch with federal officials on the matter. "I have been pushing very hard to get an approval of loan guarantees," he said. "And we're making progress." The Sun (Baltimore)
