Just like the title of the thread states: If it weren't for liberals and liberalism, America would have a vast and expansive nuclear power infrastructure, renewable for infinity, more efficient than fossil fuels, less damaging to the environment than scavenging for coal, oil and natural gas, and more economically efficient than high-cost wind and solar farms.
For the past 40 years, America could have been building upon a tried and true energy infrastucture. But, no. We can't have that here in America. Liberals just won't allow it. And because of that, America missed the boat.
In essence, no one should listen to any liberal anywhere when it comes time to have a thoughtful discussion on energy policy. They screwed America royally on the nuclear power issue. And now they have the gall to tell us how bad coal, fracking, and oil is?
Why do you presume to know what all liberals think? Isn't it disappointing to be proven wrong over and over?
Well, clearly you have no knowledge of the 1970's and 1980's nuclear power discussions. Which goes to the point made in the OP.....we should not listen to liberals. Ever. Except now we shoudn't listen to you because you're ignorant of the issue at hand. Not because you have a valid or cogent argument against nuclear power.

The very link that you provided has a list of liberals, including the President, that support nuclear energy. Therefore, your statement that all liberals are to blame is foolish nonsense, and we shouldn't listen to people who are only capable of saying foolish nonsense.
Ahhhh have you found a magic storage box for the used fuel rods? Maybe in your back yard?
One just has to "recycle" those fuel rods in drums off our cost lines that will eventually rot away and contaminate the oceans. I think the OP doesn't know what the word "sustainable" means.
Bring them on! I have never had a problem with it. Ever.
This is a incarnation of a liberal boogeyman if there ever was one.
You have used nuclear fuel rods buried in your backyard?
