Environmental coalition urges DOE to extend public comment period on nuke loan guarantee rule change

Seven national environmental groups wrote the U.S. Dept. of Energy on August 20th. They urged that DOE's period for public comments, regarding the highly technical and high stakes changes to its regulations governing nuclear power loan guarantees, be extended from 30 to 90 days. This would better allow adequate time for concerned taxpayers to submit carefully considered comments, thus boosting the transparency of the process.
