Obamas green Energy plan is not very popular

[Betonov]

There's a scientific way to have a green energy economy and we would already made progress on it.
But point scoring with the uninformed public is a great way to get re-elected and most of todays ''ecologists'' are about as uninformed as the die hard traditionalists.

It's persuading companies to continue making progress on it that's key, I mean cutting carbon emissions is a valiant endeavour I think, and really the main opponents are those in industries that produce heavy amounts of CO2, such as coal power stations and the like.

Of course, I think that governments should start putting money towards preparing for what's coming in terms of climate change and sea level rises. Because it's not going to be pretty and it's going to cost a lot of money on a regular basis.

Well I mean, with the nuclear power problems US appears to have it is either more fossil fuels or going green.

Thank you for your reply.

I had hope for a positive or a negative answer about Obama´s green energy plan.

I know there are those Americans who dislike Obama and therefor dislike every idea he comes up with and they do this by automatic

There must be some who aren't against Obama, but have the knowledge about this green energy and current energy in USA

And can give a positive or a negative answer.

I'm pro Nuclear Power in your face Cameron and Co.

And how is nuclear power working out in UK?

[Schroeder]

Sooner or later we've got to go green anyway. We might as well do it while we still have time and fossil fuels in reserve. I don't want to wait for it to become a Greek model where everybody saw the end coming but no one had the balls to step on the brake.

I think US should develop nuclear industry, or it would be left behind by various other countries, such as Russia in this regard.

The human races track record suggests that you may be slightly disappointed also Mad Max needs the oil wars to even exist.

Getting there, mostly French companies, EDF operate most of the stuff, GEC Alstom make reactors usually. I hear the Chinese are getting in on the market too, probably with the new reactors that are planned in the next five or so years, but it'll probably still be mainly French lead, they've got a good hold of the western european market, such as it is.
