We believe President Obama’s pro-nuclear remarks recently not only reflect the nations, but the world’s view that nuclear power is the key to addressing Climate Change challenges
- By Linton Levy -
Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (AEHI) submitted a Comprehensive Plan amendment application in Payette County, Idaho for the development of a nuclear power generating facility on approximately 5,100 acres of land. This is a key step to developing an additional nuclear site in Idaho. The Elmore County rezone application has been in process over one year. In the mean time others locales and parties in the state have shown an interest in hosting an advanced nuclear plant and the significant economic benefits it brings to rural communities.
Don Gillispie, AEHI Chairman and CEO said, “We believe President Obama’s pro-nuclear remarks recently not only reflect the nations, but the world’s view that nuclear power is the key to addressing Climate Change challenges. His remarks align him with the world’s other economic powers and the UN’s consensus on how to address Climate Change. Everyone quickly supported more use of renewables as do we, but now realize it can only provide about one-third of the nation’s electricity at best due to low reliability, and that a clean, highly reliable, base load power source was needed to stabilize our electric grids, keep electricity costs low and replace carbon sources that are harming our environment.”
