Tell President Obama to abolish the Nuclear Loan Guarantee Program.
Both the American Clean Energy Leadership Act of 2009 (ACELA) in the Senate and Subtitle J-Nuclear and Advanced Technologies of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) in the House make changes to the Title XVII Loan Guarantee Program and establish a new Clean Energy Deployment Administration (CEDA). The purpose of CEDA in both bills is to “promote access to affordable financing for accelerated and widespread deployment” of clean energy, energy infrastructure, energy efficiency, and manufacturing technologies. Nuclear power and coal are eligible under the definition of “clean energy technologies” in both versions. Neither bill gives U.S. taxpayers a share of the venture’s success, even though taxpayers are taking by far the largest risk if the project fails.
