MANILA - A lawmaker said the Department of Energy was to blame for the delays in passing key bills pushing the use of nuclear energy.Congressman Mark Cojuanco, who is a staunch proponent of nuclear power, said the DOE has been complicating the process of passing two critical nuclear power bills in Congress.Cojuanco said this is the bill creating the PhilAtom regulatory authority, which already passed on third reading last November and is now in the Senate. Another bill regarding nuclear liability was already passed by the House in February, and is also in the Senate, he said.&quot;What is very concerning is that the DOE itself is trying to complicate the bill in the Senate so it will be delayed. They&#x27;re also trying to consolidate the bills,&quot; Cojuanco said.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has said that he wants to include nuclear power in the country&#x27;s energy mix by 2022.
