We need nuclear synergy. Even the Left is beginning to understand that.
"Tim Leahy with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory and Burt Richter, Nobel Laureate from Stanford University, presented information about the role of nuclear power, past, present and future.
Both scientists agreed that there is plenty of evidence to support the changing climate on Earth, but said the causes are not as clear. “The energy supply will increase to meet demand,” said Richter. “There are plenty of energy sources, but some are not controlled by nations friendly to the U.S.”
“Nuclear power is the number one source of non-carbon energy, and has a remarkable safety record,” Leahy said. “The operating costs are the lowest, and nuclear energy is the lowest for carbon footprint.”
Currently 16 countries use nuclear power. There are 333 nuclear power plants outside of the U.S. Inside of the United States; there are 104 operational nuclear power plants, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."
Sadly, we will get windmills and solar--while it is a whole lot cheaper to go nuclear. France is 80% nuclear, Chicago is about 50% nuclear--why not Los Angeles or Fresno?
