Nor
does it begin to answer the reality that every cent thrown down the
reactor rat-hole could quickly save far more energy than such a reactor could
produce--- if it ever did come on line after the seven-to-ten years
it would take to license and build such a boondoggle.
No sane attempt to save the global ecology could ever include more money for precisely the most dangerous, destructive, dirty and deficit-ridden energy technology ever devised.
Let's hope this bill's yank away from Chernobyl Day will take it to the desperately needed safe haven of a Solartopian plan built around renewables, conservation and efficiency.
Neither the planetary ecology nor the US economy can afford anything less.
Nothing else would deserve the label
"Climate Bill."
