On your point about nuclear power, I actually do think (as he pointed out) that we DO need to wean ourselves off of oil and turn to alternative fuels of various types. Nuclear? That could be okay. I'm not sure it's the most cost effective, but okay, maybe.
The point needs to be, though, that progress in this area is not going to come from government development or government funding (if anything I think they've been more of a hindrance than anything), but rather it SHOULD come from private scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs. They nearly always do a better job and do it more cost-efficiently than the government does.
What planet do you live on?? The only thing standing in the way of Nuclear is the gummit and specifically the Dems.
To pretend that this Country has any Free Market is laughable. Nuclear is the cleanest, safest and most efficient form of energy ever invented and we can’t develop it thanks to brainwashed fear.
