And this is why you are King Sire.

Good words, all of them.

I am, once again, going to type in my 'solution' to the
problem. Then I'll add a few words why it might be good
for this country.

Solution.

1.) Open Yucca Mountain.

2.) Move all the spent fuel rods from all our existing power plants into Yucca Mountain.

3.) Build a fuel rod re-processing plant inside Yucca Mountain.

4.) Make low interest loans to very large power companies that can and will pay the money back to build new nuclear power plants.

Reasons.

The obvious - nuclear is non-carbon emitting and doing these things would allow U.S. to retire the coal fired power plants dramatically reducing out carbon emissions.

At the moment all our nuclear power plants have their own little 'nuclear waste dumps' - and NONE of them were ever designed for long term storage.

There is still fissionable material inside those spent rods. By reprocessing them we can reduce the need for mining more uranium. We can also reduce the amount of plutonium on this planet by fissioning it inside the reactors.

Shoveling money into the pockets of obozo's campaign contributors was NOT a solution. Most people know better than to loan money to turds who can't, or won't pay it back. A LARGE power company already knowing how to build and run nuclear power plants ought to be able to build new ones, run them, and make lots of money to pay for them.

Lastly. With lots of relatively cheap energy we can steal our manufacturing jobs back from China - reducing their need to burn fossil fuels. Also, with lots and lots of relatively cheap nuclear power one part of the 'electric car' equation becomes more feasible.

My Humble Opinion of "Global Climate Change".

1. It is either real, or it isn't. I can't think of any other options. Now if it doesn't exist there is nothing we need to do about it.

2. Climate change, if it exists, is either man made or natural or a combination. I suspect that since the polar caps are getting warmer on Mars as well that it is natural. If it is "natural" and a result of solar activity I can't think of anything we can do about it.

3. Even if we decided to tackle this problem, it cannot be done as a single country. Everyone would have go make a lot of sacrifices including China, Russia and India. We are busy trying to lock ourselves into a committment to attack this problem (which may or may not exist and may or may not have a solution). We cannot solve this problem by ourselves and any committment that requires us to make sacrifices immediately and lets others (Russia China and India) promise that they will "think about" making some sort of committment perhaps in 2035 will destroy this country.


I hope this makes sense. My vision is so bad I can't even make out my own typing.
