"Obama’s FY2012 budget request, which was sent to Congress Monday, revives a similar provision in Obama’s fiscal year 2011 budget request that would provide $36 billion in additional loan guarantee authority for nuclear power. This would add to the $18 billion in nuclear loan guarantee authority the Department of Energy already has. The budget also calls for loan guarantees for energy efficiency and renewable energy."
