Abraham: "Not a moment to let slip by."

In a piece in the August 15/22 issue of the Weekly Standard, former Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham issued a challenge to nuclear industry leaders (subscription required) in the wake of last week's signing of the energy bill:

The industry has an important story to tell. Nuclear power is not only the best available means to reduce emissions, it is also the best way to curb America's dependence on imported energy . . .

It is a propitious time for the nuclear energy industry. In addition to the new energy bill, the current administration favors nuclear power, and the public is eager to seize upon innovations that will allow us to reduce emissions and gain greater energy independence. This is not a moment to let slip by.
