Fake conservatives attack nuclear power in Utah/Idaho ahead of election

There s a story unfolding out in the mountain west that hasn t been drawing much media buzz but could have a significant impact on America s future in terms of energy independence. There is a plan underway to construct a revolutionary type of nuclear power plant near Idaho Falls that would provide enough energy to power nearly three quarters of a million homes in Idaho and northern Utah. Many of the communities in both states that would benefit from this resource have already signed on to the deal, planned to begin operations by 2029. But one group of activists, claiming to be looking out for the taxpayers in Utah has launched a campaign to convince Utah communities to drop out of the project before it even begins. The basis for their objections is a claim that the costs will be too great and the project would eventually drive up consumers energy bills.
