11:00Now Playingdemocracynow.org - On this Super Tuesday primary in Georgia, one issue where the Republican candidates fully agree with President Obama is nuclear power. The nation's first reactors since 1978 recently won federal approval. Atlanta-based Southern Company is attempting to build two new reactors at the Vogtle plant in eastern Georgia.

"Yet we have heard virtually nothing from anyone in the Republican Party."
