Bush says nuclear has role in U.S. energy mix

Washington (Platts)--18Apr2005


Nuclear power needs to be part of the U.S. energy mix, President Bush said
April 16 in his weekly radio address. Repeating a theme in his January address
to Congress, Bush said it was important to "promote safe, clean nuclear
power." He urged Congress to pass an energy bill that focuses on developing
and encouraging various energy sources, including nuclear, ethanol, biodiesel,
wind, solar, landfill gas, clean coal, and hydrogen fuel cells. He also said
he wanted to sign an energy bill that would encourage the use of technology to
improve conservation, boost production in the U.S., and modernize the energy
delivery infrastructure (transmission lines and pipelines). The full House is
expected to begin debate this week on an energy bill; Senate leadership has
not laid out a schedule for starting work on its version of an energy policy.
