Bosse Calls for more Nuclear Power Plants, Fewer Subsidies

(Nashua)  Hillsboro Republican Grant Bosse today called for an end to an unnecessary  taxpayer subsidy for colleges that offer nuclear engineering programs, as well as removing the regulatory hurdles that have prevented the construction of a nuclear power plant in the United States for 25 years.

U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told The Union Leader that he has to closely examine the possibility of opening Seabrook Unit 2. The unit is a part of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant located on the New Hampshire Seacoast but the unit has never been opened.

"I've been told, and I'm not an expert on it, but I've been told that that may have some viability," MCain told The Union Leader's John DiStaso. "But I'd like to look at it some more."
