Nuclear power? Californians think Jane Fonda is a scientist. Her greatest contribution– “China Syndrome.”

Nuclear power for electric generation is replacing natural gas as we write.

NO source of natural energy will replace fossil fuels in the foreseeable future, so let’s keep exploring. Geothermal energy is still years away as a primary source in most places. We haven’t “lost” oil/gas sources, we haven’t found them all yet.

Perry errs when claiming nobody has modeled the “do nothing” approach. Actually there’s been many, several of which indicate that cost is less than the cost of ab32. The more important aspect is what to do with “models”—they should be used to inform, not to command. Models indentify RISKs but ONLY wrt repsect to the magnitude of the event, not its probability. W/O probability, there is NO risk management. Next10 may be non-partisan, but they’re certainly not unbiased. EVERY historical/empirical case has shown the approach being taken in California (see Spain, Denmark and Michigan) will ONLY lead to inefficient, ineffectier government boondoggles,fewer jobs and less economic growth.

Fossil fuels are depleting; not renewable. We lost the sources that created them during the dinosaur age a few years ago. Read the studies. Duh.

Duh,uh. We lose jobs by depending on fossil fuels. How about creating more jobs by exploring our seas for MORE fossil fuels? Dare we risk losing abalone and sand dabs?
