so streamline the process; screw an environmental assessment, we don't need one. we did it in oil rig drilling, it oughta work in nuclear, right?
I didn't suggest that, I'm referring to the people who wouldn't want a nuclear plant built, period. There's a nuke plant not far from where I live that filed some kind of papers to explore the possibility of adding another reactor starting 10 years down the road (probably so they could get the jump on all the legal wrangling) and the opposition was already in court fighting it using the argument it was ten years down the road.
Dont start running around with your hair on fire just yet.... even if it passes,
"Even though the oil tax would be quadrupled, analysts anticipate that the impact on consumers will scarcely be perceptible."

I didnt know that, about the Johnstown tax (nor even that there had been a 1936 flood. There's a great documentary about the 1889 flood, a short. I think they show it at the Flood museum). But I agree about the taxes.... never heard of one being rescinded.
I am not getting this maybe someone can help me out.Now the oil companies are going to be taxed 32 cents PB and they are so nice that they are only going to charge us a penny.I find that hard to believe that they would absorb 31 cents PB and hurt their profit margins?
A barrel of oil isn't the same thing as a gallon of gas.
They get 19-20 gallons of gas from a barrel, and the leftover residuals are not wasted. They go into may other things, like jet fuel, among a myriad of other products.
