One would almost think that this President wants to bring America to its knees.

Gee, now who would think such a thing?

Germany has shut down its nuclear reactors. Yee haw, looks like we’ll be seeing $10 dollar per gallon gas sooner than we ever believed possible.

China, like India, is very seriously looking at building the liquid fluoride thorium reactor I have described elsewhere on FR in recent days.

There's good reason for this: unlike conventional uranium-fueled reactors, LFTR's can't "melt down" and also no longer need expensive cooling towers or the reactor located near a big body of water, which means high levels of safety and far more flexibility in terms of reactor location.

But the most important thing is that China does have large thorium deposits, thanks to the fact the tailings of rare earth metal mining (China is a huge producer of rare earth minerals) contains a large amount of this element. They might as well put it to good use.

The energy policy is to transform the energy use and industry. That is very obvious.

The wackos have a president, an advocate and had a majority in both houses. They have no drilling. They have pressure on miners. They are developing no gas fracking. They have carbon tax via the EPA. They have massive, unknown how massive, subsidies on various green renewable energy projects.

They have energy policy. The author is just ignorant of them.

Seems to me we should expand coal and nat gas drilling ASAP and build more nuclear plants all places we don't have quakes or tsunamis. IIRC, we've never had damage here in MN from a quake.

Russia and China are cornering the energy market (Russian and Chinese firms are mining uranium and coal on our soil, and drilling for oil right off our coasts). Meanwhile, 0 continues to restrict our energy usage.
