[Vision2020] Idaho Governor Otter Asks US Energy Secretary Chu About the Future of Nuclear Energy

[Paul Rumelhart]

I'm afraid I don't have the authority to speak for France.

I think we should create more base energy with more nuclear plants, and *also* invest in wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, wave power, and any other type of power we can find.  We're going to need the energy.

Paul Rumelhart stated:

" . . . the half-life of the waste by-products would be reduced to decades
instead of thousands of years.  The waste is more manageable . . . "

That certainly explains why France wants to dump their nuclear waste right
here in Idaho, instead of Nevada where the locals are up in arms over
their current pile of "manageable" nuclear waste, or at home in France
where . . . uh . . . uh . . . why isn't France securing their own nuclear
waste, Paul?

Why not create energy with windpower . . .

The waste produced by windpower is far more manageable, probably because
there isn't any.

And, besides, this gives me an opportunity to share my favorite song from
"Paint Your Wagon" with y'all . . .
