My dad once said,"life is nothing but balance". We lost our balance when we relied too much on NG and Oil, Brazil lost theirs when they became too reliant on Ethanol. If we can balance between, fossil fuels, NG, nuclear, coal, methane, ethanol, and many other forms of energy we can be self reliant and still keep American Petroleum and Oil Producers working. I want to end the OPEC stranglehold then leave all the ragheads alone to kill themselves off. While we still need Nuclear Power Plants, people need to understand that because of regulations we can only use a max of 30% of the plants potential. Kick that up to 40% and that's 5 million more households that can have affordable energy. That's just one of many needed balances that can make it work.

Where'd you get that number? I'd heard that some nuke plants are operating at over 100% capacity.

Agreed.
