John Moore has the answer – BUILD NUKE PLANTS. I’ll add my two cents worth – FASTER PLEASE. If we gnerated 90 percent of our electric power with nukes just think how much greener we would be and how much oil would be available for other uses. And as we change to electrically powered vehicles 15 to 20 years out there will be a clean non-foreign source of electricity to fuel them. Nuke plants are safe and modern designs would be even safer. (Consider the lives lost to nuclear power generation vs coal or oil fired generation and don’t forget the downstream air pollution effects of fossil fueled plants) This should be a campaign issue – no promise to build nuke plants by executive order no vote. As for the light bulbs, we use them in all locations where they stay on for long periods and use filiments where they have short cycles. When LED’s get sanely priced we will use them preferentially. Common sense does have its application. BUILD LOTS OF NUKES SOON.
