New nuclear plant in Iowa?


This might be good news, but it looks like it's still a ways to go to get a nuclear plant built in Iowa.  Still, it constitutes a start, I think.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A legislator said Tuesday that he had struck a deal on a plan that would give MidAmerican Energy new incentives to build a nuclear power plant in Iowa.

Sen. Matt McCoy, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said his panel will approve the compromise Thursday.

So here's the problem:

" Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said no decision had been made about the measure if it wins committee approval.

"It's available for the rest of the session," Gronstal said. "We may or may not debate it."
One step at a time, I guess.
