re: #130 winemaker

Are you kidding? The “greens” where I live - in a nominally (in a political sense) and factually (in the sense of trees) extremely green region of New England - won’t even go biomass. The guy who wants to build a plant here was recently featured in an anonymous leaflet (wanted, dead or alive) for “crimes against the planet”. And the NIMBYs are out in force these days, because the state wants to enact a new law speeding the approval of wind farms. Everybody loves wind farms until one threatens to spoil your view of the local ridge.

And My Moonbat Brother (MMB™), one of the weepiest Gaia-worshipers you’d ever dislike meeting, thinks the real solution is to try oil executives for crimes against humanity.

But never mind. They can always smoke their hempen underwear if things get tough.

FWIW, I can’t find the poll at the moment but around 50% of registered democratic voters support an increase in nuclear power. Add that to 80% or so republican voters who support it and we’ve got the public support for more nuclear power.

One of the things I like about Obama is that he’s got an actual nuclear physicist in charge of the DOE so he’ll make sure the president is well versed on all the options regarding reprocessing waste and whatnot.
