Despite being a barefooted member of the filthy left, I actually think nuclear power is pretty $ and I'm not sure why people are so terrified of it.

I mean, I played Sim City 2000 and those nuke meltdowns were not a big deal if you had enough fire departments.

I do think nuclear power is necessary, but not in place of other energy sources. We should be putting more money into energy research, into fine tuning wind and solar power to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact. I also think we should be using natural gas - not for personal automobiles, but for large cargo trucks and so forth.
