As I said, there are alternatives that work but the DC bunch are pursuing the ones that don't. The urgency to limit our dependence on foreign oil has been "around" for decades, but our environment seems to be more important than our national security & economy. We have a self-imposed ban on drilling for our own oil to "save our planet," but buy our oil from other "planets," primarily Canada & Mexico. Is that common sense? Nuclear energy is the cleanest, most reliable source of energy. We spent $13 B & 30 yrs. developing the Yucca Mt. nuclear waste site & for 25 yrs. collected tens of billions of $ from rate payers for the cost of disposing of nuclear waste from 104 nuclear power plants, which, by law, the fed gov is obligated to accept. The feds have paid out over $600 M in legal settlements & expect to pay another $11 B on top of that to keep from opening it. There's 60,000 tons of accumulated nuclear waste at these plants, growing by 2000 tons per yr., in pools & above-ground concrete containers. Ditto national security. Obama just scrapped the entire project, resulting in the greatest waste of taxpayer $ in history. Not only will there be no more nuclear power plants, but existing ones will need to be shut down. Who did you say was the ostrich? * socialism: You agreed that the UN ploy is socialist. Does that mean that you agree the Dem ploy is also socilism? * Farmer's Almanac: Farmers can't afford to err on weather predictions & have the common sense to rely on factual information, not politicians. One more thing. I was raised as a Dem because my parents were Dems. I'm still a registered Dem. I've voted both Dem & Rep. I don't align myself with any political party any longer. You call yourself Never Trust a Republican which insinuates that you Always Trust a Democrat. You are a fool to trust any professional politician. Never,
