I agree with the decision to resume building nuclear power plants by I am skeptical that it will happen on Obama's watch. I just wish that Obama had made the decision for the right reasons.

AGW has been exposed as a hoax, yet the administration continues to talk as if CO2 emissions from coal fired power plants is a crisis threatening our species' very existence.

We should be building new nuclear plants, just as we should be building new coal plants and drilling for energy - to keep energy costs affordable to give our economy room to expand.
D.C. Cook in MI. stores their waste on site in a big mausoleum. It looks like a giant motel, but it is actually concrete about 10 feet thick with 3 feet thick steel in the center. I have heard rumors of sending waste to space. I don't know if that's feasible or even safe, I don't have enough knowledge to say.

Can agree with this as long as they install the SCR's and scrubbers on the coal units. I am also for the new carbon capture(sending the co2 down 10-15 thousand feet in the ground via drilled wells) units they are starting to install on coal units.
