There are a lot of alternatives to nuclear energy, but none have the added advantage of pissing everyone off. The republicans all hate nuclear energy because it will enrage their financial backers in the oil, coal and natural gas industries.

Democrats hate nuclear energy because they're afraid of atoms and are reminded by the majestic monoliths of cooling pylons of their failure in all things.

If republicans get too uppity about it then just remind them that the democrats hate nuclear energy. If the democrats get too pissed off about it then just remind them that most of Europe relies on nuclear energy.

It will take five to ten years and lots of money to really sink our teeth into nuclear energy, but once the reactors are all up and running you will see a national power grid positively flooded with cheap and clean energy.

Solar and wind power are inefficient sissy shit. Thermal-depolymerization (turning waste into fuel with a magical machine) is science fiction crap that came and went. Cold fusion is awesome but about 1,000 years away.

Geothermal and hydroelectric power can't be used in cars. We want the oil monkey off our backs so there's only one place left to turn: hydrogen.

The third step in my grand scheme is to initiate a Manhattan Project style initiative to develop cheap and efficient hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen engines. A lot of companies and research institutes are working on hydrogen, but it's time to pool our brain power, our resources

and our money and get this shit done. With 1.21 Jiggawatts of nuclear power at the disposal of the project it should be single digit years before we're all puttering around in hydrogen cars.

This is the sort of time when the USA should actually get on that war footing and win the global war on terror by financing a massive industrial & research project that will change the world. Just like the Manhattan Project changed everything, so too would a Manhydrogen Project.

There is no better way our tax dollars could be spent. Not even on school lunches.

One of the problems with our current foreign oil dependence is that the United States is purchasing it from all the wrong places. We buy oil from countries where they hold demonstrations demanding the United States be submerged in acid.

We buy oil from countries that sell nuclear material to terrorists so that they can try their hardest blow up the United States. We buy oil from everyone, but we need some better quality control. If you disagree I'd like to hear why you hate America.

Nuclear and Hydrogen It won't solve the problem of our foreign oil dependence, but it will reduce the number of nations we are buying oil from and force us to seek out alternative energy as a 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆.
