Nuclear energy pace supported at Cedar Rapids town meeting
More than 150 people at Cedar Rapids City Hall backed maintaining the current rate of nuclear energy development during a town meeting with 2nd District Rep. Tom Tauke. He said safety matters must be addressed before full production and noted a 13 percent U.S. energy share from nuclear plants. Tauke covered inflation and other topics, arguing for deregulation of oil and a windfall tax proposal while stressing the need for a constitutional convention and budget balance. He also voiced positions on abortion, Alaska land protection, Social Security, and the SALT accords.
