In a recent news article from The Dallas Morning News on June 20 ,2008 . Luminant Energy reported that they wanted to build two nuclear reactors either at its Comanche Peak Glen Rose facility . We will soon exceed $ 4.00 a gallon gas maybe we will get serious about obtaining and exploring alternative forms of energy .
Lets finally get serious about our national security and our economic security and become energy independent .The following is the link to the Luminat Energy website and the Dalas News article regarding the Luminant petition to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission .If we want to do something about energy independence , we need to lower the cost of energy by forcing our public officials to create and develop a real energy policy.

Energy Future Holdings generation business, called Luminant, informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday it plans to file an application on September 19 for a license to build and operate two new reactors.
Luminant is considering building the reactors at its Comanche Peak nuclear plant in Glen Rose.
The NRC expects 90 days notice for a filing. Luminant sent the commission a letter dated Friday setting the filing date.
Company officials have said they don't yet know if they will actually build new, multi-billion-dollar reactors. Luminant would use Mitsubishi technology for the plants, but hasn't yet placed equipment orders. Luminant has time to decide -- the NRC has said the process to grant new licenses can take several years.
Still, filing a license application itself is a financial committment for Luminant. The process can cost between $50 million and $150 million.

It might interest you to know that the two (2) count them, Two nuclear plants in
Texas provide 10% of the state's electricity. That's pretty simple math. We need
to build 18 more, and we can mine all the uranium we need down in south Texas.
Put Commissioner Williams to work on that.
By the way, the more things CHANGE, the more they are the same:
