McCain is an idiot for buying into the AGW hoax. However I do like his insistance on building as many as 200 nuclear power plants. He may have bought into the false premise but his solution (more nukes) is something we should have been doing all along. In fact, as much as I hate to say it, we may even be smart to follow what the French have done with their nuclear program.

agreed - nuclear, for electricity generation, is the way to go...

The one problem we've got with nukes is they are only good for base load. You can't simple dial down a nuke plant when demand drops overnight with cooler temperatures, less business activity, etc. We need peaking capacity, which means oil and gas combustion turbines.

The French get high levels of nuclear power in their mix because they can wheel excess capacity off to their neighbors.

That said, we can easily triple or quadruple our nuclear capacity.

It's so easy, even the FRENCH can do it!
