imo, This effectively makes him toast in California and Florida.
BTW, I do agree with the drilling in ANWR and offshore and building a whole new generation of nukes.
Rudy is not stupid — he understands that today “alternative energy” is only talk, but he does say: “The ultimate goal, however, should be renewable sources of energy.”
This makes sense — the highest priority is to become energy independent and the ONLY way to do that today is by drilling for oil in areas that we control, build nuclear power plants and IF and WHEN “alternative energy” matures, sure, let’s use it too.
France gets 80% of their energy from nuclear power and it’s a small, densely populated country. If they can do it, it’s high time we do the same. We could use nuclear energy for industry and electricity for homes, etc. and only use oil for cars — getting it from domestic production and let’s watch the price of oil plummet and Iran go bankrupt.
Sounds like a good plan.
Giuliani for president in 2008!
+1 to Rudy on this...although i am not a supporter of his, how does he think Florida will go for this?...i can’t speak for California but i know that Florida will fight this tooth and nail...my state is saturated with oil rigs on its small coast (AL)...it ticks me that FL won’t be a player and my state probably uses an 1/8th of energy in comparison.
