Nuclear Power -- now is the time to get going > Rexroad.com

As the summer heats up, air quality goes down, and tensions rise about environmental concerns with green house gasses it is becoming more and more clear to me each day that one big part of the answer to these problems is nuclear energy.

Here is a PBS website on the uses of nuclear power pro & con if you want some background.

The problem is that the environemental community that should be the biggest promoter of nuclear power is quickly being isolated as the one barrier to more accepted use in the United States.

France has two good things going for it right now. They have a new President and they have successfully used nuclear power for years decades. As a result, they have the cleanest air and the smallest power costs of any country in the European Union. Nuclear power is one area where the French should be our role model.

As some of you are reading this you might be thinking -- great. Put a nuclear plant in America -- but not in California because of whatever reason. Wrong. We need to think about pushing this option for power forward to be able to use it here in California as soon as possible.

Right now they are taking apart Rancho Seco. Fine. As soon as that crew gets done tearing that thing out --- start building a more modern one the next day.

Nuclear power has got to be in our inventory for power production in the United States. It is a cost effective and environmentally responsible thing to do.
