Outside the event we caught up with two of the panelists from the forum, specifically the ones opposed to San Antonio investing in the new nuclear expansion. First, Craig Severance, a CPA by trade, who did a financial “due diligence” type of analysis on the proposed nuclear expansion at STP 3 and 4. Read about it in his blog at energyeconomyonline.com/San_Antonio_Debate

We also spoke with Dr. Arjun Makhijani, a noted power expert, on the risks of nuclear expansion.

It’s time to be hard-headed about this, folks. Investing in nuclear is an economic risk the City of San Antonio simply can’t afford to take.
Hungry for more? We have full footage of the “Risking San Antonio’s Economic Future, Nuclear Experts Explain Flaws and Risks of Pursuing More Nuclear Reactors” forum that was held later in the day at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
