Obama wants to give $8.3 billion for a new nuke plant in Georgia. How about $8.3 billion for solar, wind, hydro? Sheesh...

President Obama, speaking to an enthusiastic audience of union officials in Lanham, Md., on Tuesday, underscored his embrace of nuclear power as a clean energy source, announcing that the Energy Department had approved financial help for the construction of two nuclear reactors in Georgia.

Nuke power is CLEAN? Sure, if you don't SPILL anything!

What the fuck is wrong with our government? Why can't it seriously invest in energy sources THAT AREN'T DANGEROUS AT ALL?? Seriously, this shit is old, man. And don't give me that BS about how nuke power is more efficient. If the same money went into developing solar, wind and hydro technology, you can bet scientists would find a way to improve efficiency.

What angers me the most is the continued short-sightedness of the USG, regardless of which party that is in control. HEY, IDIOTS. THE SUN WILL BURN FOR *EVER*. LET'S USE IT AS A POWER SOURCE! WHATDOYASAY?
