[cdn-nucl-l] US Energy Policy Act of 2005

[Randal Leavitt <randal.leavitt@rogers.com>]

Bush said: "Nuclear power is one of the safest, cleanest sources of 
power in the world, and we need more of it in America." He said: "Our 
country is on the doorstep of incredible technological advances that 
will make energy more abundant and more affordable for our citizens. 
By harnessing the power of technology, we're going to be able to grow 
our economy, protect our environment and achieve greater energy 
independence."

Sheesh - when I found out that George agreed with me I had to wonder 
if I had finally lost my grip on reality.  What a world!

It appears that the US is still half-hearted when it comes to 
embracing nuclear fission.  They want to keep the option open in order 
to weaken the coal miner's union, but they don't want it to grow to a 
level that reduces oil profits.
