America is back in the nuke biz...

Looking at a spec for 2 nuke reactors, the first in 29 years. 2,700 Megawatt, $60 Bill project.

It's about d*mn time.

It sure is. It is also the only way to ween ourselves off of foreign fossil fuels and gain a better level on energy independence. I would like to see a nationwide network of these plants generating enough power that we could sell some energy for a profit to our friendly neighbors up north and our friendly interlopers down south.

The US already have the kind of energy researves which you are speaking of to generate electricity......coal.
China is using it, we should also. Coal is a known commodity as it pertains to general knowledge and none of the glowing.

The WosMan · 10-29-07, 06:41 PM

Yes, you have a point but coal is a bit dirty. Then again people have issues with nuclear waste. Personally I think we should save our coal for conversion to petrol and thumb our noses completely at the middle east. We could do it now and have gasoline for about 2.50 a gallon, which is cheaper than what we are paying now.

Don't get me wrong, I have no dislike for nuclear energy as a power source, in fact I support it.

But wait for the left to scream about our need to stop using latent oil reserves, and start screaming about all our alternatives.

It is their modus operandi.

But, but, but... your friendly neighbours up north are already making a handsome profit selling energy to you!

Many special interests. None of which look beyond their own POV.
