You Say You Want a Revolution

Does the Democratic leadership under Barack Obama expect current electric power plants to provide all the huge electricity requirements to recharge and power all the new hybrid and electric cars that will be coming on line. There will have to be new power plants built and these plants will be nuclear plants. If Democrats think that wind or solar will recharge all of these new cars, they have to be joking because the wind does not blow all the time. The new sources of additional electricity to charge up all these cars will have to come from nuclear energy.
Why is there such an ingrained irrational paranoia about nuclear energy and waste disposal among some Americans especially the Democratic leadership under the direction of Barack Obama. Importantly also why is it somehow okay for hundreds of thousands of Navy sailors to have served for nearly thirty-five years aboard nuclear power American aircraft carriers and nuclear powered submarines and air force personnel to handle nuclear bombs but Democratic leadership under Barack Obama will not consider to even remotely assume any risks involved with nuclear power. Is it okay for our servicemen to be exposed to alleged risks but not the Democratic leadership who oppose nuclear power. This paranoia is particular evident with the Democrats acceptance of risks that are associated with other aspects of modern American living. Forty thousand people die every year in the United States in auto accidents but there is no outcry to ban all automobiles in the United States. Bridges have collapsed recently in Minnesota and tunnels ceilings in Boston have fallen but there is no consensus on eliminating bridges or tunnels. There have been airplane crashes that have also involved injuries on the ground but there is no outcry to ban air travel. There have been repeated rail and ship accidents but no outcry to ban railroads or ship travel. The irrational fear involving nuclear power and waste disposal has no justification. American people undergo multiple medical and dental xrays and CT scans yearly and have no fear. TSA airport screeners and medical staff work daily around xray equipment, fluoroscopes, and CT machines and do not experience adverse health consequences as a result of their work exposure. There were no documented adverse health events associated with the Three Mile Island release of minor radiation in the 1970s and no payments for health losses were ever made involving lawsuits related to that accident. The containment vessel held at Three Mile Island. In light of most Americans acceptance of risks associated with automobiles, trains, planes, and ships, the fear on the part of the Democratic leadership of nuclear power can not be viewed as rational. John McCain's proposals to build 45 new nuclear power plants along with his other energy proposals on conservation and renewable energy will help America achieve relative energy independence in the near term and long term.

??? If you think about it John McCain plan for forty-five new nuclear power plants is reasonable, needed and attainable. Our current 108 nuclear power plants supply twenty (20) percent of our electricity requirements. This is amazing considering that it has been thirty years since there has been new construction on a new nuclear power plant anywhere in the United States. Construction on new nuclear power plants has occurred throughout the world but not in the United States thanks to Democratic leadership. In France, nuclear power supplies 80 percent of their electricity needs. Because 108 nuclear power plants are generating twenty percent of our needs, an additional 45 nuclear power plants will only increase the percentage of nuclear power to roughly 28 percent of our needs well short of French eighty percent nuclear power generation of electricity. John McCain proposals are reasonable and will help lead us to energy independence. Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to study the issue for another 30 years. By that time the only remaining United States builder of nuclear power plants General Electric will have gone the way of Westinghouse and sold its nuclear construction division to a foreign owned company Toshiba Corporation of Japan. Given the Democratic led hostile business environment for nuclear power in the United States, we will have no United States owned companies capable of building nuclear power plants.

The reality is that a few nuclear power plants will have a greater contribution to our relative energy independence than all the contributions of solar, wind, and thermal energy. Only the proposals of John McCain on nuclear power, offshore drilling, wind, and solar energy will make the idea of United States energy independence a reality.

If you haven't already checked out one of the most conscious green sites on the web. You must check out yardsaway.com. I just came across Yardsaway.com a couple of weeks ago and I love it. You can send mobile coupons to your sell phone at no charge from the site and it comes in as a text message. One of the reasons I've held up about spreading the word is because I got a little greedy with their referral program and their $250 gas gift card contest. For the referral program you can receive up to $30 for just referring a business to the website. You automatically get $10 for a business referral and depending how long the business stays signed up you get the other $20. I just love the fact that I get $10 for not doing much of anything.

So please go visit this site: www.yardsaway.com you'll be very happy you did.

We have a good idea of how oil developed as part of our planet. However, we really don't know why "our" black gold is there and the results when it's all gone...........

I understand the need to compromise to reach a desired goal. However, we haven't the vaguest idea what the end result to the physical planet will be when "our" black gold has been drained fron the earth. As a matter of fact, we think we know how oil developed, but do we know why the oil is there?

Tradeoff's for going green is like saying, tradeoff's for a healthy lifestyle.

There's no way that Californians will accept more drilling off their coastline. We had too many spills and have suffered from the effects for years at our beaches. California is taking the lead in exploring and implementing alternative energy which will allow the entire US to benefit and reduce our need for oil and coal produced energy. There are so many benefits, including more jobs and energy that is from renewable resources instead of depleting sources such as oil and coal. We need to start investing in these areas instead of relying on old technologies. Yes there will be some tradeoffs but not as many as people think, and no one is going to have to live in some spartan veggie-based world unless they want to!

Want to make a huge difference? Don't have kids - that will reduce your carbon footprint many times more than switching lightbulbs or cloth bags (though I do all that as well). If you have to have one - stop at one or adopt.

I try to be as green as possible. I take my own bags to the grocery which sometimes elicits an eye-roll from either the cashier or fellow shoppers in line. If we all just take a little time and think of ways to help it would make a big impact. It takes maybe minute out of my day to do my recycling (washing it out/shorting). I carpool 4 days a week and can???t tell you how much it???s saved me on gas this year. Yes it does take some creativity but use your mind and come up with things you can do to help. Think about future generations and decide whether they deserve to have a clean environment to grow up in? I want my future kids/grandchildren to have a great world to live in. It???s not about us it???s about our future.

So our Congress won't do what's really good for the country but only what the lobbyists demand who are ultimately controlled by the highest bidders? Enough said...
