Muskogee Phoenix editorial against nuclear loan guarantees

The Muskogee Phoenix newspaper in Oklahoma has published an editorial objecting to President Obama's awarding of $8.3 billion in taxpayer-backed loan guarantees for two proposed new atomic reactors in Georgia. The editorial cites the unsolved high-level radioactive waste problem as reason enough to not build new reactors in the U.S., and urges the federal government to support wind and solar power instead.
