I'm a liberal, and I don't oppose nuclear power. I'm really looking forward to when we figure out how to harvest the power of nuclear fusion. I think nuclear power could play an important role in a greener energy economy. But this doesn't mean that other clean energy sources, like wind, solar, water, tidal power, geothermal, etc. should be neglected.
I second that. There is too much relying on fossil fuels either from here or from foreign sources. The romance of the American citizen and the automobile is a major factor. We need to not only cut down on importing oil, but start using less. Why should a person hop in his car to go a mile to get a loaf of bread. What is wrong with walking that distance, I do this all the time and I have peripheral artery disease. If I can walk several miles in my condition, why can't an able bodied person do it? The same goes for driving kids to soccer, football, baseball, dancing lessons etc.
Let the kids get some exercise walking to the practice. As a child I ad to walk almost anyplace I wanted to go, my parents didn't own a car until I was stationed in Vietnam at age 20.
As for nuclear power I also welcome it with solar,wind etc. just less coal, gas & oil.
