Udall, McCain: Nuclear power must be part of solution to global warming [bipartisan barf alert]
The Denver Post ^ | 2009-08-24 | Bruce Finley

ESTES PARK — Bipartisan political leaders strolled through Rocky Mountain National Park this morning studying beetle-kill trees and changing vegetation patterns — and agreed that nuclear power must be part of any comprehensive climate-change legislation.

Sen. Mark Udall, an Eldorado Springs Democrat, and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona are holding a formal hearing in Estes Park later today concerning global warming and its impact on national parks.

McCain called on President Barack Obama to come forward with a climate-change proposal to get the discussion started in Congress.

“Global Warming” is BS, IMO.

But if the GW True Believers were serious, they’d be out flacking nuclear power instead of babbling about windmills and solar panels.

Why the barf alert and you are objecting to what? That nuclear power is bad and should not be part of the solution or that McCain even dared to offer a comment?

McCain is right on this.

Well...as far as global warming goes there’s no need for concern.

If you want large amounts of new, clean, domestic energy then nuclear has a lot going for it. It’s a much more realistic approach than wind and solar, unless photoelectric gets much less expensive.

Hopefully he will no longer be a US senator after 2010.

Nuclear is the way to go. But elitist Liberals won't have it. Theyd rather see 80 year old Americans ruining themselves to pay for home energy... THAT way Liberals can pass themselves off as heroes while ‘promising’ relief. Note, I say ‘promising’ because like all other Liberal campaign BS, they will not deliver on this either. If they ever delivered on half the stuff they campaign on, there’d be NO people in the U.S. to call ‘disadvantaged ... and Liberals would be out of work.

We really need nuclear power, but we do not need “global warming” legislation.

"Comprehensive climate change legislation" = McCain political speak for carbon cap-and-tax

McCain is signaling that he will support cap-and-tax as long as nuclear power is tacked on.

He is also trying to wrest control of the issue away from other conservatives and deliver political cover to Obama.

If you think he's right on that, then you've got some issues to work out.

McCain flew all the way to Colorado to prove to us he's stupid?
He could have stayed in DC and saved us the $$$.

As we have seen time and again it is easy for Congress to tack on a "gimme issue" into a bill and then forget all about it. It can call for 'research' into nuclear power plants and then just let it get bogged down to its death in bureaucracy. McCain's main aim has been to be the one who can take credit for 'fixing' Global Warming. His record is clear.

It was a hot summer in the Pacific Northwest. It was a cool summer in the Northeast. If rising sea levels were really a concern, we would be building a Qatarra Canal instead of talking about atmosphereic levels of carbon dioxide a/k/a plant food.


Qattara Depression

If Greenland melted down completely, 88% of the excess water produced could be contained by flooding the uninhabited Qatarra Depression in northwest Egypt, producing thousands of miles of valuable lakefront property, generating electrical power as water flowed from the Medditerranean to the depression and potentially turning much of the surrounding Sahara Desert into arable land.

It took Greenland 18,000 years to accumulate as much ice as it has now. How long do you think it will take it to melt?

MCCAIN: Well, to support a 1,400-page piece of legislation to start with is always difficult for me, but I believe that the only way we’re going to truly reduce greenhouse gas emissions effectively is the nuclear power.

We have got to build 100 nuclear power plants in the next 20 years. We can do that. Right now, the administration’s position is against storage and they’re against recycling of spent nuclear fuel. I can’t support a genuine reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, unless nuclear power is a key part of it.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you’ve been for it in past.

MCCAIN: I’ve been for — and nuclear power — assuming that nuclear power would be a key part of it. I mean, you can’t get there from here. The only country that’s really making its Kyoto goals is France, where 80 percent of their electricity is generated by nuclear power.

About the only thing McCain has said I agree with.
