Using $18B in funds set aside for nuclear power plant loan guarantees, the administration is proposing to help Southern Co. fund two new nuke plants. I am glad the administration is pushing this although I wish they didn't tie it to their desire to regulate carbon, especially given the ongoing collapse of the global warming argument. In any event, good for them to push for this construction.

Look for environmentalists to try to use the courts to block the new plants. Also wonder what the permitting lead time will be. Maybe the environmental impact statements are already done which is a long, arduous and costly process.
