Nothing yet has exceeded the amount of energy that is stored in the atom, and liberating that energy is a very clean source of power. The French supply almost all of their electrical generation needs via nuclear power, and they have pioneered techniques for recycling and reusing fuel assemblies.

One excellent way to stimulate the economy would be for the Federal Government to announce a sponsorship of 20 new nuclear power plants around the country, and that the permitting process was going to be streamlined to take no more than a year.

Building nuclear power plants would make the most sense for our long term power requirements, and would provide many of the jobs we so desperately need in this country.

I am all pro for nuclear.

But we could also explore the storage of hydrogen in a dense chemical form that takes advantage of the common element carbon to provide huge energy potential.

It’s something I like to call “hydrocarbon fuel”.

I must be a genius!

And our present government allows for the rest of the world no matter how despicable and energy rich to have nuclear power plants. For us they stifle nuclear energy. I think that it is plain to see that their agenda is certainly not the good of the American people, but very likely the opposite. It is very, very upsetting! It is enough "to make my blood boil" with outrage toward them!
