I have a question and i respect the posters (most of you ) with whom i disagree politically. It seems obvious to me that the country needs to promote nuclear power as a way of reducing our dependence on oil. France now produces 80% of its electricity with nuclear power. I heard today that even increasing the number of electric cars on the road is counter-productive, since more electricity means more coal fired plants. So, why is the left, the party of global warming, still so anti-nuke? (note to Bush-haters, if typing "nukular" makes you happy, go for it!)
