Isn't it strange Obama supports Iran pursuing nuclear energy, for "peaceful" purposes, yet shuts down the US need for nuclear energy?

No gas, no oil, no coal, no nuclear plants equals no energy. It's back to burning wood (which has a lot of rules and expense) and peat ( to which most of us don't have access) to cook and warm. And sweating in the summer time. Some of us are glad we look to God for solutions as this world seems to be headed for the worst times ever experienced by mankind due to one otherwise insignificant little twerp who embraces Socialism,secular humanism and Islam, but hates the American people. Be sure to vote this twerp in for another four years as you ain't seen nothing yet!

OK ZERO Then where in the HELL are you going to get the electricity to power your electric cars?
No coal.
No nuclear.
No oil.
Maybe sluts?

Given his predilection for hanging out with anti-war protestors, I thought it would be this person.

That would be....Valerie Jarrett, of Iranian descent.

Pedal Power!

Humans on stationary bikes or inside squirrel cages. It has to be us peta will never allow animals to do it....shoot it will probably just be middle aged white guys, so as not to offend anything else.

Nothing like living on Gilligans Island.

That's easy, I saw it on the local news last year. You just plug your car into that special outlet on the wall in your garage! Silly!

I don’t trust nuclear power and we don’t need it. America is energy RICH. Government is the problem, not the solution, to our economic and energy problems. By getting this obstructionist government out of the way, America could become energy independent. Our current economic and energy problems have been artificially created by the misguided polices of an unconstitutionally bloated government and out-of-control current administration.

My personal opinioin is that the spent fuel that should be in Yucca Mountain, should be sent to Harry Reid’s basement.

Let’s just keep the waste at the nuclear plant sites. I haven’t heard of one single problem we’ve had with that. If a given holding area becomes full, build another down the road.

I prefer having the waste dispersed around the country rather than stuck in a single hole in the desert.

Similiarly, I prefer medical care policy to be dispersed among the states rather than stuck in a single hole in Washington DC.

The amount of nuclear power plant waste is, compared with other forms of power plant waste, very tiny.

What’s your opinion of wind power? At present it represent less than 0.2% of the nation’s usage. In 30 years after shoveling billions upon billions in that direction it’s estimated that this unusual method of generating will provide less than 1.0%.

Solar doesn’t do much better.

Europe has been generating power using nuclear for decades with no problems.

You won’t have a car, comrade.

That’s the whole point, choking off mobility in particular,
and energy use by the masses in general.

Mobility is freedom,
energy is life.

There’s no need for it if we develop our natural gas reserves,

but that’s not the point with these leftists.

They don’t want “the people” to use energy at all.

Nuke waste is “hot” because it still has substantial energy left in it.

This is an example of how a Republican President and Congress could cut the Gordian knot.

Change the law and allow nuclear fuel reprocessing. Reprocessing has been demonstrated and is in use in Japan and France.

Reclaim the energy. Any conservationist should welcome an activity that produces fuel with no CO2 emissions and provides cheap energy while reducing the amount of nuclear waste to near zero.

Wind works where it works like some good-for-nothing-else land in Texas. The mix of wind and conventional has to be adjusted for all possible conditions which raises the price a bit. Other than those places, wind ranges from bad to ridiculous. Rhode Island has turbines here and there, some turn when there is no wind (hmmm) and others rarely turn. The ideas in Mass about off-shore wind are economic suicide but not surprising from the state that brought us the Big Dig and the MWRA. Around here we have similar off-shore wind stupidity in MD, not sure about Virginia.

Solar is also mostly a bad idea at the moment, but should improve over time with better technology.

——Any conservationist should welcome an activity that produces fuel with no CO2 emissions and provides cheap energy while reducing the amount of nuclear waste to near zero.-——

At a previous job, a hardline Brookline MA liberal told me she regretted protesting Seabrook, and now supports nuclear power.

I almost keeled over.

Wind still produces zero in terms of energy! It costs millions to build one turbine in order that birds be killed needlessly. Here is a new term for this garbage can of an administration: Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
