Things I care about

There should be an unlimited party system in the United States. The two party system presents a false choice. The problem is not broken campaign promises; It is that I am relieved when they are broken.
Nuclear energy is the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is clean, it is abundant (or could be), and it is real. The Three Mile Island incident is overblown, and the storage of waste is not as big of a problem as it is made out to be, especially when you consider that it can be recycled. Solar energy is clean, but not abundant. If you put solar panels on every roof in America, it still wouldn’t provide enough electricity because of that pesky thing called night time. Wind power is clean but not abundant. Even if you covered the entire countryside of the US in windmills, you’d still have a problem… wind is unpredictable and scarce. Hydrogen fuel cells are a great idea, but in practice, they are not real. The energy cost outweighs the benefit. Cold fusion is, of course, not real. Hippies talk about moving away from our oil addiction, but they are willfully ignorant if believe think solar, wind, and hydro energy are going to solve all of our problems. And while they dismiss the nuclear option, the Earth is choking.
