On the recordApril 10, 2003
I rise in support of the Barrett amendment to H.R. 6, which asks the Secretary of Energy to conduct a feasibility study to develop commercial nuclear energy facilities at Department of Energy sites. This is particularly important to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Barrett) and me because we both represent the Savannah River site in South Carolina. Nuclear energy is our Nation's second largest source of power. Nuclear power plants have increased electricity production while reducing costs. In fact, these plants are so efficient that their production costs are among the lowest of any energy source. I urge Members to join me in supporting this amendment which will help solve our current energy crisis by producing more nuclear energy.
