The profit margin is 10 percent.

Once » power company has impressed the state with the supposed need for a new plant, whether nuclear or fossil fuel, it is automatically allowed by the state to make 10 percent profit on its investment.

The larger the investment, the more 10 percent can mean. Nuclear power plants are the most expensive power plants in existence. The more h costs to build t plant, the more money is realized on the investment.

Nuclear power will not lessen dependency on foreign sources of energy. Uranium itaelf will soon be obtainable only through an international cartel similar to OPEC Nuclear plants generate only 13 percent of our national electricity. Nuclear materials are easily subject to theft, especially by ter­ rorists. There is no safe disposal method conceivable for nuclear wastes.

Plants presently planned mean millions of dollars already invested by utilities in the future of the nuclear industry. There is considerable corpor­ ate momentum to make America more and more nuclear dependant. Who Caused the Energy Shortage...!
