It is informed that the Turkey Point power plant stands as a national symbol for the fight over war and energy that could dominate the post-gulf war 1990s. In the wake of George Bush's, President of the U.S., assault on Iraq, the issues of nuclear power and atomic warhead production have become more thoroughly intertwined than ever. Consisting of two atomic reactors and two oil burners, Turkey Point thoroughly embodies the Bush administration's national energy strategy. Just before the gulf war ground attack, the Bush administration called for accelerated emphasis on oil exploration and nuclear power.
