Nuclear power is very risky. In the short-term it may help supply needed energy. But are we willing to bet that there will be no major mistakes over the next 50 years? Because the consequences will last for centuries.

“It’s not as simple as favor or oppose”? Huh, Jay? Grow a pair.

Jay Nixon stinks. He is the worst kind of politician. He’ll say anything and say nothing at all, all at the same time.

Nuclear and coal? Seriously? Is that all we can think of to address our energy needs? Where are the NEW ideas and NEW technologies? We need elected officials brave enough to think outside of the box.

Nuclear power is not sustainable, nor is it even economically viable. The costs of transportation and storage (for millennia!) of the waste produced far outweigh any short-term benefits of this so-called “free” energy, not to mention the environmental risks. From a long term perspective, it would likely be more cost-effective to simply dam the Mississippi nd build the world’s biggest hydro-electric plant than build more nuke plants.
