... just because the Bush Administration is proposing this doesn't make it right either.

This Administration is only going backwards. In a number of their attempts to regurgatate proposals that have been shown to be ineffective. There has not been an original idea from this Administration since the get go.
They are dealing with past proposals that failed then and will if approved, most likely will cause untold problems down the line, long after these People are no longer in the White House.
There is no SAFE Nuclear Energy. Simple. Having countless Nuclear Reactors across this Country is not Safe..Cheaper power in about 10 years when the 600 Billion dollars of incentives have been spent to build these Plants maybe...although I strongly doubt a lot of people who will want one built near them. I most certainly would not.

What about the Nuclear Waste all these Plants will genarate. What's to be done with it all? Where will it be stored. It never loses the danger attached to it!
The advancements in alternative energy sources other than the Nuke option are actually astounding and to return to this issue is frankly stupid! Guess we need to intimidate Iran... with our Building abilities and it's only for Energy purposes right!!!
Anyone bringing this energy source back into the picture is wrong regardless of who is suggesting it.
What's so wrong with Convincing the country it doesn't need its cars, A/C units, etc. Exactly what is so wrong about that!
...and why didn't Bush sign the Kyoto treaty, an attempt to get the rest of the world to cut CO2 emmisions including the US! (one of the hightest contributers of CO2 emmisions!!)

"Decide you don't mind rising sea levels. We don't mind Louisiana, Bangladesh etc being underwater..." That may happen regardless of wether the US builds countless Nuclear Plants anyway. Decide if you would like to see a higher cases of Child Leukemia and Radioactive Waste Dumps littering the Country!

"One other thing. The two larest sources for nuclear fuels are North America, and Australia. I'd rather send money there, rather than the Middle East."
I'd rather spend the money on a bigger picture of Energy efficiency. One that cannot harm People or be targeted by Enemies resulting in a graver danger to the People where these "Power Plants" may be built.

I will say this at talking speed, not slowly for I am sure there are those who are bright enough to read and absorb at an normal rate.
Not very much of what Bush proposes makes sense in a lot of areas, this one issue is no exception.

Nothing personal Bunnahabhain just my take on the subject.
Three Mile Island was horrific, imagine 6 or 7 Three mile islands all at once. NOT WORTH THE RISKS INVOLVED and the problems resulting from these plants will last for 100s of years. No thanks.

Against all Nuclear Power, Weapons and Waste.
Nothing than was an after thought from a WMD that's sole purpose was to KILL as many people as possible can ever be called safe energy.
