U.S. used nuclear fuel: the elephant is a mouse, is the solution to America’s power generation problems by Steve Aplin

Another great read from Steve Aplin: U.S. used nuclear fuel: the elephant is a mouse, is the solution to America’s power generation problems: http://canadianenergyissues.com/2013/01/29/u-s-used-nuclear-fuel-the-elephant-is-a-mouse-is-the-solution-to-americas-power-generation-problems/ ..."Listening to American politicians talk about energy security and clean energy is sometimes like listening to Captain Queeg testifying at the court martial: at first it sounds congruous, coherent, and believable, but upon the easiest cross examination it rapidly collapses under its own contradiction and irrelevancies. This is especially true with those politicians who fancy themselves to be friendly to the environment. In one breath they thunder on about the evils of man-made CO2. In the next, they promote—depending on the audience of the day—CO2-intensive things like domestic oil drilling, “clean coal,” and “clean natural gas.”"..... "The truly amazing thing is, there is an energy solution, a proven one, that can—and does—provide huge amounts of reliable, real energy (as opposed to the made-up phantom energy produced in the fantasies of the advocates of renewables, biofuels, and conservation), using materials that America already possesses in relatively huge amounts. This is of course nuclear energy, and in particular the vast amounts of energy that reside in used nuclear fuel."
