And Now A Word from Rep. Jeanie Riddle of Missouri

Rep. Jeanie Riddle from Mokane, Callaway County, Missouri

Rep. Riddle is a supporter of HB124 which would provide the early site permit for Callaway Nuclear Plant #2. I suppose this comes as no surprise since Callaway Nuclear Plant #1 is located in her district.

If you are interested in listening to 17:23 minutes of introductory chat on HB124 you can listen to it here http://youtu.be/6BNrqQi9RgM  but I warn you it is all about money and electric rates AND NOT ONE WORD ABOUT SAFETY.  In the spirit of fairness the date of this committee hearing was before the Fukushima disaster, unlike Rep. Riddle short comments in the above video.

The nuclear site permit bill, which allows Missouri to obtain a site permit for the potential construction of a second nuclear power plant in Callaway County, has statewide support. In addition to the endorsement of Missourians for a Balanced Energy Future, this bipartisan legislation is endorsed by dozens of organizations that understand the need for creating a long-term plan for keeping Missouri’s electric rates as low as possible while meeting future demand for clean, reliable energy.
