Google Tesla Motors and Phoenix Electric Vehicles. Mass production of electric vehicles could again make the United States a world leader that manufactures something that is good for our environment and our economy. An added benefit of electric vehicle production is more jobs, improving air quality, and decreasing our dependence on foreign oil.

Spent nuclear rods are only 3-4% used up. There are new methods to reuse these and get at least 10 times the use out of the same rod. Because of this our current supply is enough for about 1000 years at the current usage, so even if our usage was 10 fold more we still have plenty.

The newest nuclear plants use Thorium instead of Uranium. It is plentiful, easier to recycle and has the added benefit of not being able to be converted to nuclear weapons.

right-on Roscoe Barlett, my hero!!! What about algea-bio-oil plant farms? This should be the "manhattan project" of our time. Algea doubles every 24 hours, the fastest growing plant on the planet, its composed of 50% lipids (oil), sequesters CO2 and NO2 from coal/gen exhaust, also creates carbos that can ferment to a 2nd product of ethanol, plus proteen for animal feed as left over. We need Govt money for a big demo project in Algea. Corn ethanol is an energy loser---Algea-Diesel wins
