Voters should get to decide if they want nuclear power plant
I am disappointed with your editorial that appeared in Sunday’s Victoria Advocate. I really need some clarification. You state, and I quote, “While global demand increases, worldwide energy supply remains fairly stagnant, unnecessarily restrained by government regulations and prohibitions.” What do you mean by energy supply? Do you mean oil, electricity or both? What are the unnecessary government regulations concerning nuclear energy? Are you suggesting we do away with the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission)?

Are you suggesting as good Americans that we build the proposed nuclear waste facility in Texas? Who should pay for the nuclear waste facility and its maintenance? I share your concern for our energy needs! The following are just a few of my thoughts and concerns — clean, cheap, safe energy?
