#1 Jeebus. What's the holdup? Are these bureaucrats mandated to keep us dependent for energy on 7th century barbarians? The much safer Generation 3 reactor type is already producing power in Japan and these two are located at the South Texas Nuclear Project which has been producing power for 20 years.

For comparison, the 4 reactors at STNP will produce more power than all the wind turbines in the USA, do it reliably and don't need spinning backup. And that's even after a 45% wind power capacity increase in 2007.

#4 the application is not complete enough to proceed,
Horsepooky. This has nothing to do with the application and everything to do with "environmentalists". Needle-dicked Bugwits.
