First nuclear reactor approved in U.S. since 1978(edited)

Gotta love the irony of accusing liberals of being responsible for the delays, when it is a liberal President that got the ball moving on this. It doesn't occur to some people that the fossil fuel industry is also highly involved in obstructing nuclear energy talks in the U.S., because it wants to maintain its monopoly on energy as much as possible?

I agree completely :)

How'd
did this slip by The Obama's radar? They'll block an oil pipeline, but build the
first nuclear plant in like 34 years. The left has done everything it can
prevent America from developing our nuclear industry. They're misguided efforts
to resist nuclear power has forced us to strip mine coal and burn zillions of
tons of coal a year, then they complain about global wa.. i mean climate change.
At the same time raising the price of basic living, hurting the poorest among us
most, while claiming they care about the poor. Cheap energy would help the poor
the most, but thats just to far.

Look
at the countrys the left worships... The American left should feel duped for
letting there friends take the lead in the global energy production industry. I
wonder if France is teaching us how to make our new reactors?

A conservative calling for government intervention in the energy industry?

Guess the public purse is bankrupt only when it suits them?

The monopoly is Distributed Energies and that is what keeps the Nuke debacles alive. If the government will build them, then Big Money is willing to make money off of them. However, the liability is the government's. Distributed Energies can afford to buy many politicians and I only get one vote. I want to buy a Congressman or a President.
 
The way I hear it, South Korea is making the safest, most efficient nuclear reactors in the world. And they're doing it for about $4 Billion a pop. That's a terrific price. Maybe we ought to work out a business deal with them.

The safest most efficient reactors are in our nuclear sub fleet I would think. I have no idea how much they cost.

I'd go along with that, but I doubt they're ready to share them with the civilian sector.

Let me see if I have understood you correctly. Obama enables the construction of the first nuclear power plants in 34 years, and you feel like he's not doing enough?

atleast nuclear makes a decent amount of power. Solar can never meet our energy needs, but it is a good supliment.

Nuclear power is more expensive to build and carries greater risk. That is why private companies refuse to build them without the federal loan guarantees that Obama provided.

the problem with solar is it only works 1/2 the day.

You seem to be unaware of the concept of molten solar plants that run 24/7. Furthermore, a nuclear shutdown that must occur regularly for maintence and fuel removal can result in lengthy periods of inactivity.

Living off the grid is easy if u use gas to heat ur water and burn wood to heat ur house. And use gas to run ur car

And where do you get this infinite supply of gas?
