Who’d have thought that the U.K. under Gordon Brown would have more sense about solving the power crisis than America?

The U.S. is behind on many technology and infrastructure issues. I believe one of the biggest reasons is our litigious society. France gets most of their power from nuclear but the litigation risks are huge in the U.S. A court broke up the finest phone system in the world and now we are well behind especially in broadband. Foreign designed cars long ago passed U.S. innovation. Other countries are exploiting all of their energy resources and the U.S. sits on theirs while sending their money abroad largely because of the "green" idiots.

This decline must be stopped.

Even the obvious truth eventually has to be accepted, even by the Left, when no other option exists  :-)

They have run out of silly, ineffectual, feel-good plans for energy management and have been backed against a wall.

One naturally wonders what the world would be like today if the Left had not stood in the way of this obvious solution back in the 1970's and 1980's....the Saudis would not be quite so rich, buying that new electric-powered hot tub for The Cicero Estates would be easy to justify, and the nuclear power industry would probably be as robust and vibrant as the tech industry.
