Toledo attorney Terry Lodge has submitted testimony, endorsed by 108 local, regional and national environmental, public health and safe energy groups, to the Ohio Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee, expressing strong opposition to the "Advanced Nuclear Technology Helping Energize Mankind Act," House Bill (HB) 104. The committee will hear testimony on the bill for the second time today, despite the state legislature's lame duck session being beset by a worsening Covid-19 outbreak. The bill would subsidize so-called Small Nuclear Reactor research, development, and deployment, and the same for a thorium fuel chain, and high-level radioactive waste reprocessing, at Ohio taxpayer expense, risk, and liability, despite an ongoing nuclear bribery/bailout scandal. See the coalition's press release.
