Why Does Nuclear Fall Off The List of Options?
I just watched a half hour long message that matched my political desires for leadership with one glaring exception. In a long list of energy programs that included wind, solar, natural gas, clean coal and automotive fuel standards, not one word was said about the important contribution that can be made by nuclear power. That is discouraging. This election cannot be viewed as a referendum on nuclear power; there are so many other important issues at stake. However, without continued acknowledgement that nuclear power is one of the most important sources of energy for the future, there is a chance that people like Bill Richardson will be put into positions that will allow them to favor their traditional fossil fuel constituents. If anyone who reads this has a point of entry to the campaign, please use it to help shape our future.
