Um, we do have a real strategic energy reserve, and it's coal. So, what do we do about process steam iron duke? What about small plants that generate both electricity and process steam? What should we do about those plants? Before you post such a broad comment like that, there are so many other things to consider. What about school's, hospitals, and even homes that have switched to coal thus slashing their fuel costs substantially? Do you want everyone to switch to a little nuclear reactor? Be realistic.

The large coal power plants that also produce process steam, they boost productivity and efficiency even further.

You and I do agree on, and support the building of new nuclear power plants. But your stance on coal, is where you and I disagree on. Coal and Nuclear power will be around for a long time and both offer cost savings to the consumer.

I was further reviewing the Carbon Tax, Cap and trade yesterday. Al Gore and Hillary Clinton both support it. Kind of says something about their agendas. McCain supports it as well. I am a McCain supporter, but I heavily disagree on that issue with him. The tax payers will suffer dearly, and you think gas prices are bad now, just wait. Hopefully we get McCain as president and a republican house and senate, this way they can repeal the carbon crap tax.

Let's get rid of the CO2, and lets kill the trees . There are "genetically" produced trees that can grow in the desert. Why not start planting them around the US so that they capture more of that so called dangerous CO2. We could make an artificial forest in the Nevada Desert.
