Florida state Sen. Mike Fasano is warning Missourians, and the leaders of other states, to be careful about making things easy for the nuclear power industry - especially if customers would pay during construction for power plants that never may be built.
Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican, represents a district along Florida's Gulf Coast - north of St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa - that includes a nuclear power plant.
"I have no problem with nuclear power, if it's done according to the process," he said Wednesday morning during a conference call. "What I oppose is the way that it's being paid for."
