The ignorant, liberal environmentalists must be hating Obama now!

[Member2019]

I told people that Obama would have to be public on his nuclear stance. He purposely avoided nuclear power during the campaign, but he's from Illinois, where Chicago has received close to 80% of its power from nukes for nearly the last half-century.

Despite what people may say about Obama, he's continuing what W. started on nuclear during his mid-term. And that's a good thing. Sorry, but this is one of those things that I'm like, "take that you ignorant, liberal environmentalists!"

We should have followed the French decades ago. But at least the US is going to be moving to modular, reproducible power units. Not sure the near and sub-100MW units will take off, the verdict on those is still out. But it's clear that at least sub-1GW units will continue to be the new focus, as it was during the initial $4B R&D under W. A single, reproducible design instead of one-offs.

This is where everyone is going in the 10 nation initiative started back in 2005 by W. and 9 other leaders.

There's nothing wrong with obtaining energy needs from nuclear power plants. Oh...and Dubya still can't say "nuclear."

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Time will show us where this goes. In the meantime let us not turn this into he did this the other did that... so on and so on.

:hatsoff:

How are "libral environmentalistics" ignorant? Nuclear energy plants pollute, therefor they are not environmentally friendly.

It's ironic to see NeoCons finding an excuse to blast on Obama when he's obviously proving to the world that NeoCons are a petty unhappy lot of partisan morons no matter how much he reaches out to them and tries hard to appease them :1orglaugh'

What is so incredibly sad, too pathetic to be funny about your useless and uberignorant post history is that if anyone is a NeoCon on FreeOnes it's you and your phony NeoCon posts...you are the UberCon. :moon:

I would suspect most of us who voted for Obama would have done our homework. I would also suspect most of us who voted for him would also already know that he does see nuclear energy as a more reliable, less expensive and less pollutant energy *****.
Meanwhile, I would also suspect that most of us who voted for him also did our own research and found that, despite the obvious dangers, there is a lot less of a pollution risk (and higher energy output) with the use of nuclear energy over, say, a coal power plant such as is used in my home town.
I would also think that most of us would be bright enough to realize that building nuclear power plants would most likely mean more jobs, unless we can find a way for them to build themselves. And since nuclear power plants in the real world are not actually run by Homer Simpsons, I would also think that most of us would realize that the operation of these nuclear power plants would not only mean more jobs - but higher paying jobs from educated professions.
But, naw, guess I'm one of them thar ignernt libral vironmentlists that hates Obamer.

Nuclear energy is fine IF people see it for what it is,...a stop gap measure. It's better than coal, natural gas, or any other plant run on fossil fuels, although it still has it's problems. The problem with it is people are going to become complacent if we go to a lot more nuclear power and settle for it or think we dodged some bullet and can rest safe now. They will use that apathy to not want to go to and research renewable clean energy sources that we really need for the future and that will sustain us from here on out. If somehow nuclear energy doesn’t destroy political and public will to go the non-half-assed route then it's what we need to do now. If it does then we are better off suffering if it means we will be ****** despite ourselves to do the right thing and make the right decision.

Genuine Conservatives whether they be Republican, Libertarians or Indpendents know full well that I'm not referring to them as NeoCons becoz they are intellectually honest and consistent with fiscal conservatism. NeoCons here though are Conservatives in name only but not in practice and they **** it becoz I distinguish conservatives who are credible and legit from conservatives who are *********** :moon:

Exactly. That is why I try not to refer to some of these right wing, tea bagging, anti science, wackos that are around today as "conservatives".

To call these folks "conservatives" is an insult to real conservatives like Barry Goldwater, Jack Kemp & Pres Ford who were true Patriots.

I really **** to go off topic here, but you really don't seem to understand the term NeoConservative. Neoconservatism is an idea based around the adjudication of foreign policy through means of displays of national strength and military pressure where appropriate, and is distinctly different from "classic" conservatism both fiscally and socially. I don't argue the point that some "conservatives" these days have no idea what it means to be conservative, and throw the term around carelessly without adhering to, or even beginning to understand conservative ideology, but honestly, domestic energy policy, environmental policy and domestic fiscal matters have no direct correlation to the Neoconservative movement in the United States.

You know what I like about that map hellraiser....Its like mostly central states, Besides the likes of florida and **** on the "brighter" side isnt central america quite warm? Add 2 and 2 I dont to elabourate, a climate change guy already speculated how the coming disaster if not averted would shape foreign policy....Mainly the annexation of Canada.

I never knew nuclear energy was environmentally safe. ****. I just learned something today. Thanks Prof :wave2:

Nobody wants a plant in his or her neighborhood. Georgia is maybe the craziest state around. Probably a good spot to build these things. The citizens of Georgia don't seem to care about much. This is the same state where the insource firms are located--the firms that bring in foreign workers from East Euro and Africa in order to be maids and WalMart food servers. Thanks for keeping America strong Georgia :wave2:

This brief article didn't detail where all the nuke waste is going to go? I guess it will be stored in barrels and buried in the ground? :dunno: That's environmentally awesome!
