My last post here was January 28, 2010.
I urged citizens subsequent to Obama's state of the Union address to nail him on his promises for drilling and Nuclear.
I have seen him doing some perfunctory things on Nuclear and have decided this is a shallow ploy. About one hundred existing Nuclear plants supply 20% of our electricity. the chances of ever building another 100 is negligible. If we really were committed it would take forever. Inorder to make any of this meaningful we need to declare a National Emergency and streamline all processes and squelch all obstructionist law suits.
Even so at best we will build 2 or 3 plants in 10 years.
AND NUCLEAR WILL NOT GENERATE INCOME FOR CITIZENS.
The real solution for much of our problem is a crash program for oil and new style leases that keep a generous percentage for the citizens. This is our only hope to pay down our debt and cover our unfunded liabilities.
At 700billion pump price annually one half of that for the citizens would be an amazing tonic for our economic woes. Developing our own gas and oil will be a positive way forward.
Until someone proposes something better, this appears to be the only answer.
The only state owned endeavor I can support is oil.
LETS DO IT FOR OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE.
