A recent Clean Skies TV report tackled the question that many nuclear opponents see as the downside to the reliable, CO2-free energy produce by nuclear power plants; What about the cost?

The report by Tyler Suiters explores how the new nuclear power plants are not necessarily a burden to the taxpayer, but a benefit to the energy ratepayer.

Watch the clip (starting at 23:10) as he looks at the current builds and what it will take to get a new nuclear power plant built in the United States. A large factor to support these new builds will be a strong industrial base. As the report shows, AREVA is already making bold moves in the United States with two projects to meet this demand. AREVA Newport News LLC, which broke ground at this July, will manufacture the heavy components for necessary for new EPR™ reactors. AREVA is also actively working on the Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility, a state-of-the-art centrifuge enrichment plant to meet the current U.S. nuclear energy demands.
