Money is being dumped everywhere the nation ‘needs’ it. Is it helping? I guess it is. Do we see the so called stimulus stimulating anything (the other day my engineering buddy was laid off)? So I can not say for sure.
What I can say for sure is that if the DOE LOAN guarantees are passed and raised by $36 Billion dollars for the expansion of NEW NUCLEAR someone will be getting a job, and by someone I mean some thousands. Let just do a little guess-ti-ment.
Two new nuclear plants on one site=(500 plant design engineers across the country)+(1600 plant operating jobs)+(5000 construction jobs)+(200 new homes to place the workers in)+(5 Hotels for Outage workers)+(20 community infrastructure, stores, restaurants, ect)+(20Teachers for workers children)+(20 Fabrication Shops )+(Steel Production industry)+(Concrete Industry)+(Computer Industry)+ETC……………… I tierd of going on. Lets just say 15,000 good paying jobs! And that’s being conservative.
Lets not forget that this money is not being given out, but presented as a LOAN guarantee, not a BAILOUT, so lets hope that the goverment doesn’t sell us out.
