It seems that a good defining trait of the most idiotic manifestation of American conservatism is the knee-jerk tendency to advocate tax cuts and/or fewer government regulations as the solution to any problem.

Just as easy.

Ok. So what would you like to see done about it? Are you the one who's going to turn their power off so we can shut down these plants?

You think maybe we ought to use power more efficiently and practice conservation before we turn all the power off???

The US is 4% of the earths population and uses 25% of the earths resources.

Obvious stuff like that don't occur to millions of Americans, including Tigger. It's really quite amazing. They'll moan and whine about the government wasting our taxes, but suggest that they stop wasting energy and they can't comprehend it.

Obama Nuclear Plant: President To Announce Loan Guarantee For More Than $8 Billion

What president in the past has provided more funding, and which GOP candidate is proposing to spend more in the future on nuclear power???

And those darn conservatives think companies should be allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want, including dumping toxic waste on playgrounds!

I mean, as long as we're making hyperbolic generalizations and whatnot.
