Bush to Expand U.S. Nuclear Power, Prevent Weapon Proliferation

[ixion]

Feb. 18 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush, seeking to boost support for plans to break America's ``addiction'' to fossil fuels, said the U.S. must prevent terrorist states from developing atomic weapons and expand its own nuclear power capacity.

``We will develop and deploy innovative, advanced reactors and new methods to recycle spent nuclear fuel,'' Bush said in his weekly radio broadcast. ``This will allow us to produce more energy, while dramatically reducing the amount of nuclear waste and eliminating the nuclear byproducts that unstable regimes or terrorists could use to make weapons.''

We've been discussing this issue for some time here, but I wanted to post this because of the massive inherent hypocrisy of the headline that, as usual, seems to be utterly lost on the editors who wrote it.
