Arizona is one step closer to officially declaring nuclear power a renewable energy source. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
The Senate Committee on Water and Energy narrowly passed SB 1134, a bill that classifies “nuclear energy from sources fueled by uranium fuel rods that include 80 percent or more of recycled nuclear fuel and natural thorium reactor resources under development” to be a renewable energy source.
Environmentalists are not happy, and frankly, no one who cares about linguistics should be either.
