We should be doing the same.
Brazil is doing oil-shale, too.
The imagery of Harry Reid atop a panicked donkey decked out as Don Quixote jousting with offshore oil rigs comes to mind, for some reason.
But... But... But... They have the Miracle Fuel: Ethanol. Why do they need nuclear power?
Pelosi invests in Picken’s wind company. If a Republican did that, they would brought up on charges.
So, to make Pelosi and her Stalinist friends even wealthier, we have to build windmills instead of nuke plants.
Brilliant. Well, Obama is right. He does stand for change. Making the USA like the corrupt socialist shithole that is Mexico.
Hey Barak and Nancy! Why do Mexicans and Central Americans keep coming to the USA? Is it because their home countries suck and they can’t make any money? So, we plan to turn our country into Mexico? IS THAT YOUR PLAN TO HALT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? MAKE US AS BAD AS MEXICO AND VENEZUELA??????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dems like to repeat endlessly that you can’t drill your way to energy independence, but in fact Brazil did exactly that. They are famous for their bio-fuels, but thats a small part of the whole. They drilled their way to oil independence.
Now they are determined to step it up a notch, focusing their efforts on nuclear power generation. Could we borrow some sanity from Brazil? If we could replace our Dems with Brazilians chosen at random we’d probably be better off.
Further proof BRIC is going to rule the 22nd century.
Some of you republicans seem to forget that it was a republican that canceled out last two nuclear power plants after much of the construction had been done.
There are Two Types of Reactors in the United States
The Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR)

Gee, why don’t we just put B. Hussein and Michele Obama, the Reverent Wright, Bob Beckel, and a few windbags from Congress in a line in front of the windmills and get them all yammering?

and so while solar & wind tech is vulnerable to the variances of the weather, nuclear power plants are not and can be more protected in comparison.
Why do they need nuke pawer. I thought they had mega amounts of ethanol? /s
China wants to build 100 nuclear plants by 2020.
Westinghouse is selling AP-1000 reactors all over the world.
They have sold six in the U.S.
Our irrational fear of nuclear energy may well be what leads the U.S. to being a third-world country by mid-century.
Anyone who studies the history of energy production will realize nuclear power was the logical next step for electric generation after coal. Instead, now we are putting up natural gas fired plants all over the place, which is increasing the demand for, and driving up the cost of, natural gas.
Even global warming phobia is not enough to cause the radical left to give up on their nuclear phobia.
It is the 21st century. We should be living in the Jetson's world. Instead we have a rerun of the Carter years, complete with gas lines.
Thank you, Jane Fonda.
Brazil looks to the future and sees nuclear power plants; the Democrats look 500 years in the past and see windmills.
