Comment: The State of Virginia needs to follow the example of Sacramento, Nuke Power Plants make electricity higher, Nuke is not carbon free, uranium mining, and milling produces lots of carbon plus a lot of uranium milling uses coal. NO NUKE PLANTS, NO URANIUM MINING, AND MILLING!!!

SACRAMENTO (AP) ―
In 1989, Sacramento voters agreed to shut down their utility's nuclear power plant, rejecting warnings that their electricity bills would skyrocket.
Twenty years later, the area has among the lowest electricity rates in California, even as the Sacramento Municipal Utility District considers a 13 percent increase.
That's a message former state lawmaker Tom Hayden and others involved in the 1989 campaign say the federal government should note.
Hayden held a news conference Friday in the capital to mark the 20th anniversary of the vote and urge the federal government to invest in conservation and renewable energy.
The U.S. Energy Department is evaluating loan guarantees to four companies planning new nuclear plants. The reactors being considered are in Maryland, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas.
