We are sitting on trillions of cubic feet of natual gas, and these morons are talking about nuclear?
Nuclear is an option we SHOULD be pursuing. We should be pursuing ALL energy options. Renewable energy is BS, as we are finding out with a cold snap in an energy rich state such as Texas.
Natural gas is something we should be aggressively exploiting as well.
Energy costs affect the cost of everything. Well designed modern nuclear power is a stabilizing force against the vagaries of oil and gas exploration and exploitation.
RE: We are sitting on trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, and these morons are talking about nuclear?
It’s not an either/or thing but a Both/And thing.
We already *ARE* using nuclear energy *AND* natural gas. So, why not continue to develop both and improve the technology?
The last nuclear plant in this country was designed and construction was begun in 1977, taking nearly 20 years to come online and begin producing power.
Only a few years after personal computers took off.
Think of the Space Shuttle, and think of SpaceX. That much difference in technology.
We should be pursuing small, modular pebble bed reactors scalable to run a municipal power plant for a small city, and modular Thorium reactors. It is crazy that we are not doing so.
We should be developing these and exporting the technology...we should be a world leader in this.
Trust me-if we don’t...the Chinese will.
America is vastly self sufficient in numerous energy sources but government and liberals will rather see people suffer. They are sick.
We should be pursuing nuclear as well
