another government bailout for a failing industry, but that's exactly what
they're getting from the Obama administration," said Friends of the Earth
Climate and Energy Tax Analyst Ben Schreiber. "The Department of Energy is
putting taxpayers on the hook for bailing out costly and dangerous nuclear
reactor projects when the loans used to finance those projects default."
In the absence of the loan guarantees, argues Friends of the Earth, the nuclear
industry is unable to secure private sector financing for new projects, due to
high risk of default.<o:p></o:p></p>
