They actually believe that they will be allowed to build new plants under the dems?
Morons.
Nuclear plants don't produce carbon. A Carbon cap and trade system will raise the cost of conventional energy. When they discover wind, and solar are not viable to meet the cap and trade requirements, nuclear is going to look pretty good.
The problem I have with this is that it's a backasswards way of going about it. We should be building nuclear plants now to ensure enough energy for the economy regardless of what OPEC does.
Instead we are going to ramp energy costs through the roof in a stupid attempt to make so called green energies viable on a large scale. It's a bet the farm strategy, and when it fails, OPEC is going to have tremendous control over this country. Those high energy costs are going to kill our wounded economy.
