The big problem with the bill—and with the left’s approach to energy in general—is the failure to fast-track nuclear energy expansion. Modern nuclear plants are safe, the energy they produce is economical, and the emissions are harmless (although they do use some water). The technique of reprocessing almost eliminates waste—we could be storing all the nuclear waste from the nation in an area the size of a football field. Compare that to the ecological impact of miles and miles of concrete pads and new roads associated with wind farms. Besides, nuclear plants can be built by cities, and they generate electricity all the time. Wind farms generally require accompanying huge transmission lines, and they often aren’t generating much at all during the night.
