Bankrupt coal-burning plants, prohibit nuclear plants and tax oil.
Waitafuckinminute ... I knew about the provisions that'd likely bankrupt coal power plants ... and taxing oil doesn't surprise me, he'll likely tax everything else (hey, lower-income Democrat voters, how do you like your home heating oil bill this winter?), but the "pro science-and-technology" candidate wants to ban nuclear plants? WTF does he think we're going to do for power?
By some pretty solid estimates, 35% of the currently-feasibly-exploitable wind and solar resources in the US are already being exploited, and we're actually demolishing some smaller western hydro dams because of environmental damage. Renewables ain't gonna make up the shortfall. Nuclear is the smart option, and it's cleaner than coal.
You know what? I keep seeing things happening that make me think we're going into Heinlein's Crazy Years.
Let's just hope two years is enough time for the Republicans to get their act together...preferably after telling the Religious Blight to eat shit and die.
I've seen several different Reps saying, "Eight years of spending money like a drunken sailor have killed us, we need to get back to our small-government roots."
