The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

The possibility of using warm water from power stations to control the temperature of plant and animal enclosures is examined. With the heat from a nuclear station such as the 330-MW(electric) gas-cooled reactor being built near Denver, Colorado, it appears that a good fraction of the fresh vegetable, poultry, and pork needs of a large city could be produced in a growing area near the power station, and that the profit incentive is high to both the grower and the utility.
