Hearing on Price Anderson

Washington, Sep 6 -

The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality held a hearing on reauthorization of the Price-Anderson Act – legislation that provides for the U.S. taxpayer to pay for the consequences of a catastrophic nuclear event.  Rep. Waxman questions the need for new subsidies for established energy industries, instead of adequately encouraging the development of clean, renewable energy sources.
