It seems we suddenly lost the will to be energy independent. No so damn fast!
My power bill in Texas is usually something near $190 a month. It doesn’t matter if it is 105F or 50F outside. That is what it comes out to be. To put it simply, I am tired as hell of it.
My country has resources from coast to coast. Dams, coal, oil, more dams, coal, and oil. We are swimming in natural resources. Hell, we have tornado alley sitting here waiting for you to put wind turbines in. I wouldn’t mind the occasional solar cell or 80 either. Seriously, what the hell is the problem?
We have everything waiting for us to take it. So what is the problem?
Oh yeah. We have all of your environazis out there. What is it again? Carbon dioxide? I have a solution to that crappy argument. Ready? Here we go!
Nuclear power. Pure, plain, simple, safe. Oh yeah, and no carbon dioxide flowing out the pipes. What was that you said? Nuclear waste? Not any more! We can recycle it! In fact, with modern nuclear reactors, we can recycle it up to 3 times before it becomes weapons grade. And when it does that, we have this nice little thing called the United States Air Force that REALLY wants to buy it from us.
Why would they want that? Because most of our nuclear warheads are nearly 30 years old. We have this little thing called National Defense that is kind of important. Though none of you would give a shit about that.
Regardless, your job in life as a eco-nazi is to figure out a way for us to drop about 30 nuclear reactors in the deserts of Texas, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona. Oh yeah, you need to do it without the 18 year wait associated with building a nuclear reactor. (This doesn’t include the application process, the money to get through that process or the bullshit that comes with fighting any liberal bullshit cause that needs to be fought.)
What it comes down to is that all you libbies out there need to let us Conservatives figure the energy thing out. I do, however, want your opinion. Not talking points (for those of you that don’t farking get the whole idea of conversation). Opinion. I want a real resolution that doesn’t involve only solar cells that pollute nearly as bad as oil. I want something that works. Period. Put those thinking caps on ladies! Nuclear is my #1. What is yours?
