I hear you about the environmental side, but the biggest impact can be made - or let me put it differently, if you want to make the biggest impact, you have to go to nuclear energy. On that front, we currently have the most progressive administration we have had in decades.
Yes and no...on the environmental side of the issue, there is always the problem of waste and the lesser odds of accidents, the consequences of which can be catastrophic.
Of course, solar energy will have a positive impact, but the question is: do you want a trickle or do you want a bang. Well, I want the trickle of solar, wind, but it is a lot more important to have a bang with nuclear.
That's where we disagree. If the right incentives are put in place, every roof in the nation has the potential to become a mini generating station.
On that subject, I have no illusions about Obama or Hillary. Their current public position is that of scepticism about nuclear power. So I don't see them accelerating nuclear revival started by Bush administration.
I suspect they will lean more towards lesser invasive technologies, like solar for example.
