    For apx. 60 years America has diverted its development of nuclear power, an environmentally clean power. America has built coal fired power generation plants that produce apx 2-8 tons of CO2 emissions and radioactive waste more dangerous than the wast from a nuclear power generating plant. AMERICA N

Public Sticky notes

A)   Congress and the  state governments must authorize and clear the way for  the immediate expansion of existing nuclear power plants  that were originally   designed and approved for more reactors than are operating in these plants  today.     We could  build 40 to 50 new nuclear reactors  at the existing nuclear power plant sites.

Simply expanding the existing nuclear power plants that have been operating continuously for over forty years is the biggest  reduction of greenhouse gases that can be accomplished without shutting down the American economy.

   The government can build the first new nuclear power plants in the U.S.   at existing government power projects.    This should be  the modern “Apollo Project”  or “ Manhattan Project”  to build new energy for  the U.S.

Why not?    Congress already passed laws to guarantee the investment in the first five new nuclear plants built in the U.S.

Without new nuclear plants to avoid  building more coal plants,  the U.S.  will be increasing, not decreasing,  CO2 in the atmosphere by at least  2% each year.

  Turn  the foolish “excess profits”  attack on the oil companies into something constructive.   Require the rich oil companies to use part of their profits for something of long-term good.   Require that they build nuclear power plants with a small share of their  profits.

The anti-nuclear policies of California’s politicians  guarantee that California will add  20% more  CO2 to the atmosphere over the next ten years,  not  reduce by 20%  -- and they know this,  while they lie to the public that trusted them to run the state.

Everything will fall in place as soon as construction starts on the first new nuclear plant in the U.S.    No  arguments, facts, or state of emergency will convince the fanatical anti-nuclear crowd to change their minds.    They will resist and cover their past monumental  mistakes until new construction is a reality.   They will never admit to the damage they have done to the U.S. working public and the world ecosystem by forcing this country to build filthy coal burning plants  and creating the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

And finally,  there is one more thing that must be done to make any of the above options possible.   Congress must stop  obstructionism by environmental frauds.  Congress must take away the money in the National Environmental Protection Act  (NEPA)  and  Endangered Species Act (ESA)   that pays  eco –fraud organizations  to file lawsuits and blackmail the public and stop all development  of our resources  in this nation.

Top scientists and internationally recognized  environmentalists alike now agree  that we made a big mistake in killing nuclear power in the U.S  forty years ago.

That forced us to  relying  on coal and natural gas power plants that have  created the excess CO2 greenhouse gas  that is blamed for global warming

They agree  that nuclear  is  now the only large source of  non-polluting energy that can replace the fossil fuels that are creating  global warming.

The most important thing is that the oil producing countries and OPEC will  bring down the price of oil only when they see the U.S.   developing its own vast reserves of oil --- and they see us building nuclear plants for the long-term  at the same time.

The anti-nuclear fanatics and environmental frauds  organizations set up this nation to be blackmailed by the oil producing countries.

There is an estimated  85 billion barrels of  oil in areas of the U.S. that have been blocked off from exploration.   The estimated  10 billion  barrels of oil in a postage stamp area of the Alaskan National Wildlife (ANWAR)   may be the quickest new oil supply we can develop.
