Obama Goes Nuclear; Proposes $8 Billion Loan for Georgia Power Plant

February 17, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ For the first time in 30 years, the US is looking to build a nuclear power plant as President Barack Obama proposed an $8 billion loan to build a power station in Georgia.

The loan guarantees would go toward constructing two reactors in Burke, Georgia, where there is an existing nuclear facility.

"It's a plant that will create thousands of construction jobs in the next few years and some 800 permanent jobs, well-paying permanent jobs, in the years to come. And this is only the beginning," Obama said.

Obama noted that the US was falling behind in nuclear energy production. He said of the 56 nuclear reactors being built around the world, 21 are in China, six in South Korea, and five in India. South Korea has also signed contracts recently to build plants in the UAE and Turkey.
