Gosh, I hate to show my ignorance but I have to ask what the hell’s wrong with nuclear? Other than the waste problem it seems to be a whole lot better for environment than anything that has to deal with byproducts that clog the air. I’m serious. How have the environmentalist been able to stymie nuclear production of electricity for so long? Seems to me like the answer, for now anyway, is electric cars with the electricity being provided by nuclear energy.

OK, go ahead and fire away. I know I’m missing something. Can it really be simply the power of the environmental lobby?

Your not missing anything.

Nuclear is the way to go, and a good portion of the world’s Uranium is located in Colorado, of all places.

Guess what? The government and environmentalists won’t let them mine it. True story.

Instead, you guessed it, we IMPORT IT.

A nuke plant emits zero emissions. Its still bad, if you listen to the crazy people.

We’ve place our own uranium off limits, but thats solveable too. You just have to have the political will to fight that battle and win it. We were once the largest producer of uranium in the world. We could be again if we defeat the crazy people.
