Urge Energy Dept. to Extend Public Comment Period on Nuclear Loan Guarantee Rules!
The U.S. Department of Energy is attempting to fast track its nuclear loan guarantee program by drastically limiting the opportunity for the public to comment on changes to its regulations. We must all act now to extend the comment period to ensure a transparent, democratic and fair public process, not a DOE rubber stamp. Taxpayers could be left holding the bag for tens of billions of dollars, when risky new nuclear reactor projects default on their loan repayments. Read Beyond Nuclear's action alert, where you'll see how to email DOE, urging a public comment period extension.
