I didn't intend that previous reply to offend you. You know I can't tolerate Juan McMistake, especially for his trying to elevate GW to any level of legitimacy, but if he thinks nuclear will solve our dependence on oil alone, then I'm forced to agree with him. He's right!!!

I still think his campaign is going down in flames worse than Dole/Kemp's did and I still won't vote for his miserable maverick carcuss, but he's right on nuclear power even if there ain't no man-made GW to resolve!!! This stance will nuke HIM!!! (even though he's half right)

I didn't intend that previous reply to offend you. Well it did. It seemed to lump me in with folks that do things I don't, and I didn't appreciate it. You know I can't tolerate Juan McMistake, especially for his trying to elevate GW to any level of legitimacy, but if he thinks nuclear will solve our dependence on oil alone, then I'm forced to agree with him. He's right!!! I agree he's right. What's more, I was trashing the author of the article who was trying to make the case he was full of crap on this topic. I will never vote for McCain, but if he's right on a subject, I'll agree that he is.

I still think his campaign is going down in flames worse than Dole/Kemp's did and I still won't vote for his miserable maverick carcuss, but he's right on nuclear power even if there ain't no man-made GW to resolve!!! This stance will nuke HIM!!! (even though he's half right) I'll tell you what, whether it nukes him or not, if I were him I'd be explaining in great detail why I took the stand on it I did, and let the chips fall where they will. I also think he's going down in flames. I am seeing some indications some leftist will jump on his band wagon. I sure hope this lefitst bastard doesn't get elected, because it will prove to many that the Republican party doesn't need Conservatives, when it actually does if it wants this nation to survive.

I do appreciate the follow-up. Thanks.

Don’t get too excited. He’s opposed nuclear for all sorts of PC leftist reasons in the past. He and Kyl were the deciding vote against Domenici efforts to reduce the regulatory hurdles in 2003 to forge ahead on new reactors. He purportedly opposed him because of loan guarantees, falling into the Dem hyperbole (”If every single project went into default, it might cost billions). Those numbers are dwarfed by the amounts he has suggested spending in the name of junk science or technologies that don’t exist yet. Back in 1991, he was among seven “conservation-minded senators” that wrote a letter to GHWB blasting his energy policy (which placed a heavy emphasis on oil/gas exploration and greater dependence on nuclear power) because it had deleted a section offering tax incentives for renewables (solar, wind, geothermal) and conservation standards. (According to one article, “The letter points out that better conservation would not only reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil but would improve air quality by releasing fewer pollutants.”) The conservation minded senators? The usual gang, mostly: McCain, Chafee, Jeffords, , Specter, Nancy Kassebaum (KS), David Durenberger (MN)and Bill Cohen.

I think the only reason he is touting it now is that some incentive dollars are included in the global warming bills. So... if you buy into his cap and trade program, that is estimated to cost the U.S. between 1 and 5 TRILLION, he’ll give ya a few billion for a nuke reactor. Ain’t that generous?
