Nuclear power for Indiana? http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1389795556
Indiana hasn't tried to build a nuclear power plant since two efforts fizzled in the 1980s over high costs, nearly bankrupting one of the companies in the process.
But an influential state senator says it's time to encourage nuclear power again and has introduced a bill that would provide financial incentives to utilities to build nuclear plants.
Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, chairman of the Senate Utilities Committee, says nuclear energy is clean, safe and reliable and should have a place in Indiana's energy lineup.
His bill, Senate Bill 302, would allow utilities to build a nuclear plant, or a small modular reactor, and pass along the construction costs to customers years before the plant goes into operation.
