And let it begin today with this commitment: In a world of hostile and unstable suppliers of oil, this nation will achieve strategic independence by 2025.

Excellent news! Energy independence is only two thirds of a generation away.

Oh................................ the............................... excitement........................ I................................. can............................... hardly............................ contain........................... it................................

How about a crash program to get 150 nuclear power plants on line by 2015, 2018 at the latest? How about an executive order to start drilling off our shores withing six months? How about a rush program to exploit oil deposits on our soil?

There's no need to offer up vague plans that won't meet our needs for seventeen years. Get some backbone John. Do something that will really make a difference to this generation.

His plan for 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030, is downright laughable. By 2030 will need 200 or more new reactors, not 45. This guy is proposing goals that if met, wouldn't meet today's needs.

How about Freepers finally grasp the fact a President cannot over turn Congressional Law with an Executive Order?

Don’t get on him for his plan to build 45 reactors. That’s 45 more than the democrats will give us.

And 45 is a start. Keep in mind Roosevelt wanted the United States to produce 50,000 military airplanes during WW2. At the time, he was scoffed at as 50,000 was considered impossible. I think we built five times that many.

Say 45, put private industry into it, keep the enviro nazis at bay, and sure, we can get 45, we can get 450, there’s really no limit to what we can do IF government allows us.
