When is someone going to use the “N” word... Nuclear power?
No “carbon footprint”, no fossil fuel, no dependency on Chavez, sheiks or worry about tanker oil spills.
Congress can just mandate that Greenpeace et al shut-up. That is much more realistic than passing decrees concerning the laws of physics.
The politician that has the backbone to stand up and say:
"We need a Manhattan type project in dealing with our energy policy. Today, right now, we need to start drilling for oil in every place possible, no area is off limits and also start building Nuclear plants across the fruited plains for the objective to be energy independent in 10 years".
That person would get my vote
Relax, folks, I’m not advocating nuclear powered cars.
However, if you have nuclear generated electricity, then electric cars make a bit more sense.
