Talking Nuclear Energy In Texas

Over at Front Burner, the blog of D, a magazine based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Wick Allison is talking Texas power plants in the wake of Sunday's New York Times Magazine feature on the resurgence of nuclear power in the U.S.

Here's a comment he received from one of his readers in the investment community:

I saw the same article in yesterday'’s NYTimes Magazine. And speaking as someone who is going to have an increasingly large stake in this issue: I can wholeheartedly say that the embrace of nuclear power for the purposes of electricity generation is, by far and away, the most sensible intermediate-term step that Texans can effect towards both improving environmental quality as well as reducing our dependence upon the resources of overseas partners.

Wick is also thinking about statewide carbon emissions.

And we can never talk about Texas without mentioning Skip Bowman's speech at the Houston Forum earlier this year.
