Given the Obama administration history so far I worry about a Chernobyl ending.

Politics played a big part in the Chernobyl disaster and Obama seems determined to follow that path. Political apointees in charge, underlings afraid to speak up out of fear of reprecussions. That sort of thing.

The amount of nuclear waste produced per year from one plant wouldn’t even fill the back of a pickup truck. It is no more a concern than waste from a coal plant, probably less.

He did, that is probably the money Obama is talking about. It takes a while the get a mountain moving. I still would trust anything this administration or the democrats are saying, they stop the funding of Yucca mountain.

What’s in the fine print?

It will be built directly upwind from Sarah Palin's home and will be built by affirmative action union labor.

That should be "would not trust this administration or the Democrats"

I’ll believe this when I see it - I can’t see them pushing anything good in the front door without sneaking something bad through the back.

Allot less, metric tons less, not even in the same universe.

I know Lindsey Graham has been having a conniption about nuclear power since February 26, 2009.

http://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/senator-lindsey-graham-sure-did-not-like-president-obamas-speech/

Watch that video, he starts with nukes and will talk other stuff with Greta but he runs back to nuclear power and offshore drilling at the end, almost obsessive-like. I agree we need it that stuff, but at what trade-off?

Or is this one those deals where with fanfare he'll guarantee the loans, but then he'll have the EPA squash the permits?

Didn't Biden, or Axelrod, or Zero himself say as much during the election? I recall something like...."We won't stop them from building, but we will make it so expensive as to make it an unreasonable venture."

“Built with only the finest Chinese steel and iron. :-)”

That’s zero’s payback for China. Unfortunately, China’s best steel is worse then scrapped and rusted metal.

Will this deal be financed by one of the broke or soon-to-be-broke banks in Georgia?

Are the rest of the professional services in Georgia just as screwy as the banks?

Does water run uphill in Georgia?

Both Plants have been under real ‘earth moving’ construction since last year. He’s just trying to take credit for them by offering a loan. Whether they actually need it or not, I don’t know.

We’re talking 2 to 3 years before a permit would even get issues to build ‘em and then the wave of enviroNut lawsuits starts..

Yup..and there's sure to be a snail darter in there somewhere.

Is it not amazing what the election of one U.S. Senator (a Republican no less) from a liberal state like Massachusetts will do to change the course.

“he couldn’t pour piss out of a boot, if the directions were printed on the heel!!”
Oh man, best quote of the day. May I...?


It’s a great line.
Speaking of boots, or shoes...the photos we have of Obama with his feet on the antique desk in the Oval Office...priceless...if that doesn’t say how much he hates this country and the men (white men that is) who founded the country, then those who have seen it and don’t get it are beyond stupid.
