		<description>Mike, 
 
  We won&#039;t start having brownouts and blackouts until after this election cycle but by then many will have figured out who to vote out and who supports affordable electricity,   
 
  The problem that I see is that the majority of the people are going to believe the socialist controlled wind and solar media news right up until the lights go out. </description>

		<description>More &quot;wishful thinking&quot;, this time with a twist...&quot;role playing&quot;.  
 
Hey! These are Leftist/Socialist government elitists we&#039;re faced with, people!  
 
As the truism goes, &quot;Government does not invest for equity return, government invests for return at the ballot box&quot;! 
 
So, the only way to really really even begin repairing and recovering from all the Leftist/Socialist government elitism which is comming? To spell it out, &quot;E-l-e-c-t-i-o-n-s&quot;...&quot;Elections&quot;, as in the next two (2) elections in the years 2010 and 2012, which is what it&#039;ll take to &quot;boot the (Leftists and government elitists) out&quot;! </description>

		<description>The questions on Yucca Mountain are very appropriate. The Heritage Foundation has done some insightful analysis of the nuclear waste situation and has tried to stimulate workable solutions. 
I know what is intended by saying, &quot;there is no consensus on how to move forward,&quot; but I would say that there was consensus in 2002 when Congress voted to override the veto of the Yucca Mountain site suitability designation. Wasn&#039;t that supposed to then be the &quot;law of the land?&quot; The State of Nevada did not and does not accept it as such and, more critically, the present Majority Leader of the Senate has vowed that the repository will never be built. Further, he claims that the Obama Administration will not support the project, even if the project is not cancelled outright. Congress, in 1987, purposefully chose to have no Plan B, so if Yucca is cancelled, we may be back at square one. </description>

		<description>Mr, Mark Wolfe, said across the country, the number of terminated utility accounts among the nation&#8217;s 95.6 million residential energy customers is skyrocketing as the economy sinks, among some other points, he is executive director of the National Energy Assistance Directors&#8217; Association. One other point he made is &#8220;Families that were middle class last week are not middle class anymore.&#8221;  
  How can anyone justify people like these being unnessasarily forced to pay higher utility cost.  Without all the stumbling blocks placed against nuclear power electric generating stations,   the cost of electricity here in the U.S. would be much less for all of us. And maybe at least have some affordable electricity for light industry and manufacturing  
people need JOBS that contribute to a better life,  not government doled money that&#039;s being borrowed that cannot be sustained.  These power stations run for sixty plus years,  my children just like yours need jobs, affordable electricity is a critical part of there lives and there future,  we must find a way to get the anti energy activist off the backs of our utility providers.  
  Destroying whats left of our econimy by increasing the cost of gas to ten dollars a gallon is I hope soon to be realized not what any car owner wants or needs just ask one. 
  We don&#039;t have unending supplies of cheap oil now is the time to change our fuel source for transportation.  Where is the alternative energy truck? it&#039;s not even on the radar  
yet no oil means no trucks. another critical part of our and our children&#039;s future,  com-on lets build an alternative fuel truck and see if we can get some on our roads other than diesel and NG. affordable NG, is already a problem it&#039;s not the answer for a truck fuel. </description>
