You are heavy on the slurs: let it go. Let us have a reasoned discussion without the personal smears.

I am in favor of nuclear and want plants built ASAP. So much of that invective.

Amazing that you state I have no insight into economics and yet you know nothing about my education or experience.

You approach complex problems like you approach arguments: charge and shoot, and hope for the best.

And what is the likelihood that that will be done and how long will it take before any of the power can be provided to the market? This is a medium to long term solution.

I can only judge your level of expertise by what you say. If you think that rising energy costs are a good thing, then you don't understand how those costs will affect business and the consumer.

In psychology, that is called projection. You have been telecomuting to work for ten years working from home. You pay a $800 a month water bill and postpone buying a new car because you had to replace your sewage pipes. From your ivory tower, you have lost touch with reality. You sound like Al Gore preaching the need for reducing our carbon footprint while building a 30,000 ft2 house and jetting around the globe.

When confronted with reality, you prefer to rely on emotion and empty platitudes. Optimism is not a substitute for action nor is it a solution. Of one thing you can be very sure, we will not wean ourselves off of oil in ten years no matter what you say.
