Kentucky snubs nuke bill

Kentucky has a proud tradition: State law prohibits nuclear power plants from being built anywhere within the Commonwealth's boundaries.

Nuclear energy is perhaps the costliest and most dangerous form of power. The last thing Kentucky needs is a Three Mile Island or a Chernobyl.

But that was lost on state senators who recently approved a bill that would lift Kentucky's ban on nuke plants. This sellout to the power industry was met with widespread public opposition, but that didn't deter the fat-cat Kentucky Senate.

Now, however, this massively unpopular bill has stalled in the Kentucky House. Legislators don't expect it to come up for a vote in the current session.

Do you really want a Chernobyl in your backyard?
