National Call-In Day is Wednesday, September 17. The U.S. Senate is planning to consider energy legislation this week; among the bills it will take up is the Gang of 20 bill best known for its “compromise” on offshore oil drilling. Tucked away in the 233 pages of the bill are about 18 pages that would create the biggest giveaway to the nuclear power industry ever.

*Unlimited taxpayer loan guarantees for construction of new atomic reactors

*Construction of a new, dangerous, and unnecessary reprocessing plant

*Billions of dollars in “risk insurance” for new reactors
