re: #202 Slumbering Behemoth

Well, we could go with the nuclear option, rather than burning fossil fuels for electricity. That’s one way to make some kind of change.

Good luck getting that to happen. I think a lot of people would rather choke on smog everyday than accept nuclear energy as a clean, safe alternative.

Nukes male a whole lot of sense, economically as well as environmentally. And guess what, so does coal. We have an enormous supply and the technology is there to use it cleanly just as is nuclear. But neither will happen, Nukes and Three Mile Island are as embedded as the concept that coal is bad, bad, bad - it’s black!

This thinking will lead to a sort of energy bankruptcy in the States. Goofy to my way of thinking. I’ll likely be dead when it hits the fan, and it will when the lights don’t come on and your freezer involuntarily defrosts. You know, when we become just another poor nation as envisaged by the left.
