Here's an energy plan: have a target to have 80% of US electricity needs met by nuke power within 10 years. The French managed to do it.

More importantly, what they don't seem to understand is that when the cost of fuel goes up, so does the cost of everything else. And aren't these usually the same people who cry about needing to increase the minimum wage? If these people were in charge, gasoline would be $10 a gallon, and the minimum wage would be $20 an hour, just to keep up with the increased food (and everything else) prices!
