Wilson Leads Letter on MOX to Energy Secretary Moniz

Press Release

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement after sending a letter to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz requesting the Administration reconsider its position on MOX, the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility at the Savannah River Site. This one-of-a-kind project of national security importance helps the United States honor an international agreement with Russia by turning bombs into energy.

"Today, I along with a bipartisan group of Congressional Members reaffirmed our belief that the Administration must change their irresponsible position on the MOX facility at the Savannah River Site. This decision jeopardizes our national security, directly attempts to usurp Congress' power of the purse, and will cost American taxpayers millions of dollars without a return on investment. Inaction must not be an option and MOX should remain on course to completion," Congressman Wilson stated.
