This was a big part of McCain's platform and he was right.Remember that being right about something and getting the deal done are completely different issues. If we had built those nuke plants, we would be getting 60 to 70 percent of our power, like France, from these pollution free sources of power.Too many people scared of them in this country TMI, Chernobyl. Obviously nuclear energy can be produced relatively safely, but there has to be a conscious effort to engage in a real discussion about the risk, the probability of it, and the benefits. Funding nuclear power plants takes a lot of effort and money, siting it will take a lot of governmental assistance, and overseeing it to ensure that we don't have another incident that will destroy public confidence in it for several decades more. so it's wind and solar it seems. Wind and solar can be made productive too; I don't see why we have to look at these issues as either/or. |
