Answer from: U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX)
We know that many of those from whom we import oil are not our friends, so we should be able to have our own resources developed for our own energy, and one of those is nuclear power. It’s clean, it’s reliable and it’s abundant.

Nuclear power is part of the answer to meet our growing needs and the fact that we need to cut down on CO2 emissions.

The technology is safe, the supply of energy is clean, and it will replace fossil fuel, which is sometimes dirty and pollutes the environment.

Yes... that is a pesky little problem.
As I see it, fixing the 'energy problem' requires more than building better power plants.
The government needs to start encouraging efficiencies up and down the supply line -- starting with power plants, then through distribution channels, and perhaps most importantly with buildings.
