Split an Atom, Save a Tree!

Well color me green and register my vote! Nuclear power is all the rage as an "alternative" to the current power choices that are damaging our environment. Be it Global Warming or Global Cooling the lefties are starting to squabble about what to substitute for those evil carbon based power sources. None other than James Lovelock has chimed in stating:

"We live in a nuclear-powered universe. We're the oddballs by getting energy from burning carbon.

"My justification of nuclear power is that we've reached a stage now where the dire things that threaten us are so great that even the results of an all-out nuclear war pale into insignificance as unimportant compared to what's going to happen."


Well, maybe it's time to start the construction. This would keep the US from exploiting that Alaskan slope reserves and the wandering elk would be eternally grateful. Maybe we could blow the moth balls out of Rancho Seco and get in the fastlane towards nuclear energy!

Boy, it's fun to watch as the left tries to lead instead of .........just what were they doing?
