While both national parties' presidential candidate are touting the theory of more nuclear energy as way to lower dependence on foreign oil, Mississippi is at the crossroads of the issue.
Republican candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., after touring a Michigan nuclear plant, recently said: "If we want to enable the technologies of tomorrow like plug-in electric cars, we need electricity to plug into."
McCain accused Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as opposing nuclear energy. But Obama's aides accused McCain of misrepresenting his position, saying the Democrat was open to more nuclear plants, but only when such issues as security of nuclear fuel and disposal of waste were resolved.
