For those who wish to read more about nuclear power and LNG , issues that were discussed in this Planet Philadelphia show, here are some links.
Link to the memo from Pennsylvania Public Utility Commissioner, Andrew G. Place referenced a number of times in this show: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5763986-Nuclear-Policy-Paper-PUC-Commissioner-Andrew-G.html

Links to stories about the proposed new liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be built at PGW’s Passyunk plant. PGW is a city owned utility. Natural gas is methane. The LNG is proposed to replace current diesel uses. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It has a shorter duration in the atmosphere, but it traps at some estimates 86-89 times more heat than carbon dioxide before it degrades.
