<DIV>Thank God that bill died. Could you imagine the impact on families having to pay $8-10 a gallon? It would kill us! It wouldn't do the environment a lick of good either without getting China, Europe, Africa, India, and other nations to agree to the same restrictions. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We should be looking into alternative forms of energy. Nuclear power plants are currently the cleanest form of energy. We should consider building more. Most of the fears of Nuclear power plants are unfounded because they are based on 1950s technology. The government also likes to bury nuclear waste, rather than recycle it, like France does, making it a hazard to the environment if not handled properly. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not having abundant affordable energy is a national security risk for this country, and drives food prices up starving millions of poor world wide, and our current pumping of fossil fuels is damaging to the Earth's
atmosphere, and the ground we rip it from.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Saundra Lund <sslund_2007@verizon.net></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">"Crapo said the bill should have included more incentives for clean-burning energy technology like nuclear power production."<BR><BR>Just one of MANY reasons I didn't vote Mr. "Let's Pretend Nuclear Waste isn't a Real Problem."<BR><BR><BR>Saundra Lund<BR>Moscow, ID<BR><BR>The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.<BR>~ Edmund Burke<BR><BR>***** Original material contained herein is Copyright 2008 through life plus 70 years, Saundra Lund.
