Lets learn to stop using 40 year old plants and build safer more efficient new ones.
Guild good old Coal Plants. How simple.
Let me congratulate the Obama administration on its commitment to the obvious. What inspiring leadership.
As the Mayor of Chicago once said or was attributed to him: “Don’t let a good crisis go to waste”. This will follow the 0bama administration’s ban on offshore drilling following the oil rig disaster last year. If it furthers their idiotic green agenda, they will find a way to ban or limit nuclear power growth, which has been limited since “The China Syndrome” movie from 1979.
Instead, what the US should be doing is drilling for oil, mining for coal and adding updated nuclear plants outside of tsunami prone areas of coastline.
Lip service only? Show us the money (new power plant plans)!
Learn what? That shit happens?
Chu has learned from the Japanese experience, and will recommend that the President outlaw electricity.
No NEW nuclear power plants will be built, or started, while obama is in office. Just one more plank in the “Destroy America” tour that is the obama administration.
We on the Texas gulf coast know that when you install a generator elevate it. Think about the highest possible storm surge and go higher. In this case they should have considered the possible tsunami wave height and put the generators to keep the pumps going high in the air. So, there has been a lesson learned so now, as Mike Holmes would say, “do it right”. The problem is simple and can be fixed.
oh dear....this can only mean that more windmills are on the horizon....
What liberals will “learn” from Japan: All nuclear power is evil and we must never build another plant ever.
What conservatives will learn: We should be doing all we can to replace older nuclear plants that may be close to end of life, with far better designs, safer, almost impossible to melt down, pebble-bed reactors.
