252. I'm not happy with it, but I think it is necessary. We wasted over 30 years
since the last batch of US nuclear plants and did not find any solutions to alternative energy sources. I worked on designs for oil-from-shale plants in the early '80s that went nowhere.There was some interest, nothing was done, government talked about the problems but never addressed them-both parties share the blame on this-congressional happy talk, no action.

We should have had this discussion in 1981 or so.

Build the plants and develop realistic replacements for them starting NOW.
