HB78 My Bill: The NPP (Nuclear pollution prevention) bill shall slowly rid the usage of nuclear power from our nation. It shall replace nuclear power with hydroelectric energy and wind energy slowly state by state. Our bill will first start off as an experimental process only in the states of North Carolina and Louisiana. The plants shall be Brunswick (NC) and River Bend (Louisiana). The experimental process shall begin in the year 2014 and end in 2016. Then if all goes well we shall progress onward. You should vote for this bill because it will give our nation a chance to lead the way for other countries to apply the idea that clean energy is great energy. With this bill we can save not only ourselves but the enviornment as well.
