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.
