Six Companies Poised to Gain from a Natural Gas Auto Mandate

I remember that nuclear was stopped in its tracks by the same "greens" that now propose it. Its the cheapeast way to make electricity (assuming everyone pays for carbon polution) and puts no carbon or radioactivity into the air. Coal burning, on the other hand, does both.

The one good thing that has resulted from the delay is the design of nuclear generators that by design cannot rupture. The bad thing is that unlike France we send 5% of our GNP to people who hate us, rightly or not, and spend a significant part of the money to do us harm.

In addition we bailout the low mileage automakers who bought up mass trasit in order to close it and make us a captive audience to personal transportation which killed our cities and stressed our culture into the sterile suburbs and decaying cities we often endure.

We don't yet make coal pay for carbon pollution so it seems cheaper than wind and we need coal for our baseloading. With nuclear baseloading, recommended, we could use coal mines to supply colocated uranium and shut down the smokestacks.

Which coupled with electric cars, hybrid green diesel cars, and LNG trucks would free us from 700 billion dollars of balance of payments and cure most of what ails the non financial portions of the economy.

Then we try and jail the bad investment bankers and start with a new financial system.
