"I believe we are not going to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and become energy independent ... unless we use nuclear power and use it in great abundance,"..."Sen. McCain would eliminate the political obstacles that hinder nuclear power, allow it to compete more effectively, and likely increase its share of the U.S. energy portfolio,"

Now you're talking!

The obamaloon wants to “address it’s flaws”? Yup, that marshmallow undergrad and graduate law degree is gonna tell him all he needs to know about nuclear power. Another brick in the wall. Perhaps he might like to start with a battery, wires, and a light bulb. Given enough time, he might get some light...er see the light.

People need to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I am not a crook.

Finally, a policy where I am in complete agreement with McCain, although not in complete agreement about the motive (Global Warming).

I just became more comfortable about supporting McCain.

Don't forget, he was a naval officer while many ships were nuclear powered. He knows it's safe if it's respected and handled properly.

I've always said that the true test of if someone is honestly concerned about "global warming" is to see how they feel about nuclear power.

While we’re at it, lets clear the obstacles to refining the spent fuel, so it takes up less space. You know, like other nations do?

Still, it takes years to get a plant online, even with environmental regs waived and such..

I used to traipse around nuke plants for work, we shoudl have never stoped building them, the research never stopped on making them safer.

The “greenhouse gas” issue is bogus, but...

if it leads to nuclear power plants providing 90% of our power,

call me a AGW supporter!

Actually, it’s only good for an argument with a greeny weenie. Oh, so you want to reduce co2 emissions? How about nuclear? Oh the horror!

***Barack Obama wants to address its flaws***

I didn't know Obama was a nuclear scientist?

McCain making sense on an issue. Perhaps there is hope.

I love campaign promises. How exactly does a Republican President propose to do this with a Democratic congress?

Good to know McCain is at least right on one issue.

It shouldn't be a partisan issue at all. Here you've got a proven source of energy. It is high intensity. It is dispatchable (i.e., there when you need it). We know how to deploy it safely and economically. We have the resources. If those concerned about GHG and global warming are really serious, they can have a source of energy that addresses those concerns. Any candidate who claims to be serious about the environment and energy security should have no problem endorsing the use of nuclear energy to the maximum extent practical. Those who don't are either poorly informed on the issue or are being dishonest.

“Clinton’s energy platform was “better than the others” because of its focus on nonnuclear sources, though she appeared to change her stances in different states,”
