A truly reactionary, disastrous choice.  His program of nuclear  
expansion would sequester an enormous mass of economic resources,  
starving all efforts to refound global energy production and use on  
renewable (solar, aeolian, tidal, geothermal) sources.  And since  
"clean coal" was right up there with nuclear in the Oblabla campaign,  
we can see that too coming down the pike from the Obama  
Administration.  Reality anyone?
