So in light of the current situation in Japan do you think it will set us back even farther or will common sense prevail. I say full steam ahead on building Nuculer plants. We have wasted enough years already for no reason.

I am sure that as Beck said this afternoon, our "leaders" in DC will stop it before they allow it to go on. They say no coal or oil to generate electricity and now they will see the same thing for nuclear power. They don't realize that the sites in the building days were built along fault lines and will be bad places if the Earth keeps splitting.
We have only one nuke power plant in Kansas and sure enough it was built in the 70s very near the New Madrid fault line. Stupidity still runs rampant as can be seen by the fact that a good part of California's power around LA comes from nuclear plants along a known fault.
As Rahm said, "Never waste a good crisis" and if this isn't one that could be called that I don't know what it is.
They don't want us to build more coal fired plants, natural gas plants, or oil fired plants and now nukes are out. I guess Obama and his crowd really believe that they can build all the wind power plants we need along with those huge solar powered ones overnight. I am sure that they believe that building the necessary transmission wires only takes about a month for 500 miles.
We are way behind with nuclear construction. Over a year behind in drilling for oil on our off shore deposits and they don't want anything that might cause a problem someday to be used. Electricity is what we power this nation with and they won't allow us to build any new facilities.
If we eliminate all the government subsidies and take away the liability protection we give them, lets see how many they want to build.
What will you suggest if we have to start having rolling blackouts because of the heavier demand for electricity that is coming soon especially if we sit on our butts waiting to see what happens in Japan? Stopping too soon leads to what happened to oil and surely you have seen how that worked.
I'm sure you can trust the regulators and inspectors of these nuke plants just like the regulators and inspectors of offshore oil drilling rigs.
I'd rather go coal.

The coal industry has a much, much worse safety record than either the nuclear or oil industries in the US.
Have you not seen the things that say we are moving toward global cooling from the Japanese disaster? I will try to find that link that I wanted to post last night and seem to have forgotten to do.

Have we seen any real proof of what caused that explosion in the gulf yet? I missed it if we did. I still think that with Rahm in the White House along with Cass Sunstein it may have been contrived.
