Abstract:
Nuclear power is a proven, safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels that can offset America's growing dependence on foreign energy. Federal, state, and local governments will have a role to play, especially in building confidence with investors, but the best long-term subsidy that they could give the industry is the freedom to succeed.
