GOP Pushes Nuclear

The other day Lamar Alexander mad a big push to build nuclear power plants as part of an energy policy for America, it is the right choice and he should keep pushing the subject. Democrats keep pushing alternate energy and green jobs, it is a questionable argument at best.





In reality alternate energy is a fraction of America's power. You will notice that 36% is hydro, which means dams, a frequent target of destruction by the left. As for Biomass, a big chunk of that is wood burning with Industrial production being the bulk of it. Mostly its paper mills and wood manufacturing plants, clearly this makes sense since they have the scraps on hand to fire up a boiler for generation purposes. Another chunk is ethanol production, whose negatives in financial and social cost clearly out weigh any alleged benefit. In short all the advertising in the world about green power cannot cover up the reality that renewable energy is barely fraction of what we need, and if one delves further into the data its clear that much of what is "renewable" energy in generated not through solar and wind, but through particular industries where it makes sense.

Flaws of Renewable:
1.Renewable Energy is Expensive and Capital-Intensive
2. Renewable Resources Are Often Geographically Remote
3. Lack of storage facilities for energy.(Electricity is difficult to store on a large scale.)
