Clyburn, Graham Push For Nuclear Power
“We will have a national energy policy,” Clyburn, the House Majority whip and a top-ranking Democrat, said. “It will be wind, it will be solar, it will be biofuel, and, by golly, it will be nuclear.”
Clyburn and Graham, South Carolina’s senior Republican senator, said the state doesn’t have the potential for wind power and solar energy that other states enjoy but that South Carolina is a leader in both nuclear power and nuclear know-how.
It’s about damn time the Feds are getting sensible. Nuclear energy is the cleanest there is and as far as the storage of nuclear waste goes, surely we can take some tips from the French. They’ve been on it for decades and have obviously dealt with the issue successfully.
