Sounds good, but the reality is we're sitting on HUGE amounts of cheap energy resources. Nuclear is expensive. And as long as our energy prices go up we'll never be able to compete with nations that have low energy costs.

Nuclear has the lowest bus bar costs in the nation WEO hydro. Nuclear will cut energy prices. Other than that I agree with you fully. One thing that needs to be shouted from the highest mountains is we can convert coal to oil for about $60 per barrel. It will be even cheaper as we refine the process. Imagine the boon a stable $60 per barrel price would be for the economy. And we have plenty of oil we can drill for. We have so much energy available it is beyond belief we allow our political masters to hurt us so.
