Written By: COURTNEY HANSON4-23-2014
(APN) ATLANTA -- In our continuing coverage of the Democratic Primary, Atlanta Progressive News interviewed State Sen. Nan Orrock (D-Atlanta) and Angela Stovall, who are running for the Democratic nomination for the State Senate District 36 seat.

WHAT IS YOUR POSITION ON NUCLEAR POWER?
ORROCK: I do not think that taking America down the nuclear power road is in any way a wise move. Nuclear power is described by proponents as clean and in fact it produces radioactive waste and poses real hazards to us right here in Georgia. The notion that dealing with all that waste is not supposed to be considered as part of the cost of that kind of energy is preposterous. I have grave concerns about it.
I think the Fukushima reactor collapse, the enormous crisis that is not going to be resolved in the foreseeable future and that is damaging the oceans and devastating the environment is an example of exactly why we should not take America down that road.
STOVALL: Nuclear power. Well there’s a lot going on with nuclear power. I would have to sit down and hear both sides of the argument.
For me to directly to say hey I’m against this or I’m for this when I have not fully been given the opportunity to hear everything, I can’t give a direct answer. The whole thing would be for me to hear from both sides and find the sweet spot and work it out from there.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS, IF ANY, TO EXPAND WIND AND SOLAR IN GEORGIA?
ORROCK: I’m very supportive of efforts that have been moving forward to take us in the direction of solar and wind. Green energy is a terrific economic boost. It’s a boost to our economy and it’s jobs that can’t be exported in building out green energy infrastructure.
It’s hopeful to see that even members of the Public Service Commission are now understanding that that is the way of the future and we need to encourage it with policy, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a way to reform the state laws so that traditional utilities providing electricity are not allowed to dominate the conversation and misshape the policies to disadvantage green energy.
STOVALL: You know, like some of that nuclear stuff, I haven’t thought deeply into an exact plan for that. In looking at it, [there are] a lot of direct things that are going to effect the District so I’d have to bring in constituents and see what their feelings are about the whole situation. So again, engagement, getting out there and saying hey, here’s the issues, this is what we have going on and how is this going to effect the District.
