  • Well, WTF?... wev'e had a Department of Energy fror about 35 years now and not a single nuclear power plant has been built!

  • Blame environmental alarmist groups like Greenpeace for that. It's funny, nuclear power is almost emmission free and way way way way way way way way more efficient than any renewable energy source.

  • Nuclear power, and fossil fuels. The best way to achieve enrgy independency.

  • The NRC testified to congress that the probability of a nuclear accident was 45% over 25 years. We're about to reach the 30th anniversary of Three Mile Island. Only an idiot would assume that radiation leaks won't reach every American eventually. Storing nuclear waste on Indian Reservations is Cultural and Actual GENOCIDE! America is better than that!

  • We need Green jobs! No more Nukes!

  • Also France (who currently generates 80% of their energy from nuclear) has a method of recycling 96% of their spent nuclear fuel. The remaining 4% is small and easily managable.

  • Well there are currently 104 nuclear power plants in the US. All have operated without incident (save TMI which had a scare, but caused no injury or loss of life.) As far as the waste is concerned, nuclear power generation produces very little waste. The waste that is generated is usually stored on site in containment pools. There is currently a long term storage solution at the Yuca Mountain facility is Nevada, but the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has yet to approve it. Why? I have no idea.

  • .... yes... But what do you do with the nuclear waste? How do you deal with meltdowns and various accidental leaks? Nuclear is far from clean energy.

  • If by killing jobs he means creating green collar jobs. Just as many jobs will be created, if not more, by the policies proposed by Obama, and environmentalists around the world. Obama has the right idea, and that is to expand our energy options. Nuclear may be good one day, but for now there is no place approved for dumping the waste it creates, and clean coal technology doesn't really exist. Why not spend the money on making hydro, solar and wind power more advanced?!

  • This guy is a jerk. He says on the televised debate the other day that he wouldnt tell any one if he was going to bomb someone he would just do it. Huummm, John McCain sounds like another Hitler in the making.
