The mixed news developments this week surrounding two nuclear projects in Piketon in Southern Ohio are drawing a mixed reaction from Gov. Ted Strickland. The federal government denied a $2 billion loan guarantee for a new uranium enrichment plan, so construction has been stopped and thousands of potential jobs have evaporated. At the same time, though, federal energy officials vowed to create up to a thousand new jobs by expanding efforts to clean-up radioactive contamination caused by an earlier weapons plant there during the Cold War era. Gov. Strickland's reaction? |
