Another great point that I have brought up before. We SHOULD be pushing Nuclear, and very hard. Its a no-lose proposition. Everyone wins except for the handwringers.
Fact is though, most of the hard left are Luddites, and want to see us living like Native Americans (except for the "eating buffalo" part...).
I got a "C" in one of my MBA classes in the early 1980's for arguing with the professor about this. It seemed clear to me that Nuclear energy was the best way to go.
That class was supposed to be an "easy A", but I was too dumb to ask if that meant only for Liberals. The only species they want to see extinct are humankind. The professor was so against the human race that he said he'd never contribute to the problem by having children. I thought that was a good start. :-)
If Liberals never procreate, we might be on the right track.
