Since nobody (conservatives) will offer a policy position, I will reiterate my position on the energy question.I'm convinced the future lies in electric cars. The batteries remain a problem, but I'm sure we can solve it - the country that put a man on the moon and wins most of the science nobels for the last 30 years can solve this, probably in thinking of a completely novel way of electrical energy storage.The US needs to build a whole new generation of maybe 100 nuclear power plants to provide the electrical energy that will be needed. Foreign oil should be phased out at the same time with a gradually decreasing quota for foreign oil that eventually gets to 0%, maybe over 20 years. Natural gas powered vehicles might provide part of an interim solution while the battery technology advances.The nuclear power plants would take advantage of an existing technology that depends only on domestic resources, and has an unparalled US safety record, and will greatly decrease air pollution. Enabling legislation should provide for reasonable environmental safeguards, but must prohibit the obstructionism that shut down nuclear plant building in the 1970s.
