Jeff Merkley actually said...

it is my belief that our economy and our energy strategies are joined at the hip.

I think the nuclear industry should feel very good about having this argument over whose plan provides more subsidies for nuclear power.

It looks like a path to me of catastrophe if we do not proactively change our energy strategy, a catastrophe for our economy.

What I do not want is an energy policy that drives up the cost of energy in the United States of America.
