The secretary of energy has announced a multibillion-dollar loan for building nuclear reactors in Georgia. The last reactors built in this country were about 30 years ago. President Obama considers nuclear reactors a renewable energy source that is carbon free. A member of Friends from Earth brought up the nuclear diaster of Fukushima, to which the secretary of energy and president of energy are ignoring. Instead they're encouraging that these energy sources will have lower carbon emissions, and over all fight climate change despite the negative events that have rotated around nuclear reactors. Georgia Power and Oglethorpe Power will recieve a combined 6.5 billion dollar loan to finish building the nuclear power plant expansion.
