Obama on Clean Energy: Build Safe, Clean Nuclear Power Plants; New Offshore Oil & Gas Development
(1/27/10) Barack Obama–State of the Union: “To create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. That means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development. It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies.”

Obama is probably …
Obama is probably knowingly, or unknowingly, setting up the next target for someone to fly a plane into…Think about how easy it would be to fly a plane into a nuclear power plant and destroy an entire area of the country…This is not a “Smarter Energy Grid” like Obama said, it is a bad move on the chess board and we are their pawns…..Just what we need more potential targets for people to crash planes into….Are you all ready for another Nuclear Meltdown like 3-Mile Island or Chernobyl???
Why doesn’t the U. …
Why doesn’t the U. S. go full nuclear energy?? It is the most Efficient, Cleaner and Economic! I hope coal power plants are charged for their CO2 emissions and deaths of thousands of Americans who die every year from burning coal.
white liberals …
white liberals sooooooooooooo quiet about this. Just like his stance on gay marriage.
Amazing, I agree …
Amazing, I agree with him on nuclear power. It does cost more to build and set up, but once its already going, the energy output overcomes fields of solar panels and wind turbines. With less land being used on panels/turbines, more industries can build, more farms can grow crops, more houses can be build, bigger cities that is more efficient. all this, just because we build a couple of nuclear powerplants over the endless fields of solar panels and wind turbines.

I know …
@raleighl
I know that the American president said it differently than I and a few others have understood it. There are opportunities for coal and gas exempted from the CO2 and there are ways of converting CO2 into oil.
This is probably one of the challenges that the President to see for the USA – and it is a worthy Aplaus.
damn straight, …
straight, geothermal ftw! nuclear energy is way overpriced compared to any other renewable energy source
Sorry, but this is …
Sorry, but this is all very clean washing of dirty energy
Nuclear power is never clean but very expensive, with all its problems. America has so much sun Consistent with conversion to solar power, wind power and geothermal power could be achieved very much in a few years …..
Eu nao sou …
Eu nao sou AMERICANO mas acho que a energia nuclear e altamente radiotiva ,e nao se deve brincar com essas coisas.Pois na america nao me diz respeito,.Mas em PORTUGAL NEM ESPERIMENTEM.
safe clean nuclear …
safe clean nuclear power plants 0:55
safe, clean nuclear …
safe, clean nuclear? offshore drilling? this isn’t the inspiring thought leader I elected.
ask the texas gulf if offshore drilling is a good idea, or a clean solution… take this off the table once and for all!
I wonder what kind …
I wonder what kind of generation he means I hope it includes the IFR and LFTR but I am guessing hes just talking about the VHTR instead.
