Oral, I think even the original head of Greenpeace has now admitted that their aversion to Nuclear power was wrong. Basically forced us to build CO2 emitting plants. I have been saying this for a while. If CO2 does cause global warming, we have the enviros to thank for that. There will come a tipping point though. Not sure if it's 5 dollar gas or 6 or what, but there will be an energy revolt here somewhere along the line. Why McCain isn't hammering on this issue 24/7 is a mystery to me. I think some of the enviros are rooting for that. Their pet alternative causes become viable only at very high prices of energy. Nuclear power, on the other hand, can bring about lower energy prices, once it grows substantially from the current low levels of penetration (~ 20%). Joe

France heavily subsidized nuclear power. I'm not sure I want to do that. It seems with energy the government always either subsidizes, or penalizes and restricts, or sometimes both (taking with one hand while giving with the other). If a politician likes some energy solution than he will try to subsidize it, if he doesn't like it he will try to restrict, tax, or heavily regulate it. How about we just get the government out of the way and have a free market in energy?
