hard to tally it up, when the means keep being shifted.
For example, they were supposed to use up nearly all of the nuclear 'waste', but was then stopped from breeding.
Then the far left fights against burying the 'waste' over at Yucca Mntn.
The smart thing is for us to push Gen IV reactors to burn it up, but we need to make it so that once a site is approved, then the protests and BS stop.

disposal of current nuke waste, would be a TRUE waste of money.
This waste can be re-processed and used in gen IV reactors for 100 years and leave only 5% of the volume and with only 200 years of it being unsafe.

Sadly, the far left and their fear of science and ignorance of economics continue to push for wasting our money.

actually, most conservatives that I know, believe that we need to bring taxes up. Hell, an ex-GOP senator just went in front of both federal houses saying that fuel taxes NEED to be raised and infrastructure needs to be increased.
A GOOD conservative is opposed to running DEFICIT and DEBT. 'Conservatives' that are opposed to taxes to the point where we run massive deficits is not conservative and is just an idiot.

In addition, a number on the left support nukes. Sadly, not the right ones. The idiot lefts in CONgress are the ones killing off nukes here. Of course, the European greens are just as stupid.

Actually, it is very possible by focusing on increasing efficiency. For example, we are almost pure LED lighting at our house. In addition, in the near future, when I replace the furnace, we will go to a heat pump that makes use of 9 KW solar cells.
That is how you lower your energy use.

Now, with that said, I think that France would be much smarter getting rid of their fossil fuel plants, which they have.
At the same time, they really need to push electric vehicles so as to quit importing oil/nat gas from Russia, Iran, Libya, etc.

If you go look at powerball PRIOR to the change to the new management company, few of the wins were in the west. And in fact, only a couple of the major wins were in the west. They were always in the east. Technically, it is possible. Statistically, it left a lot of questions.
Since the new company took over, wins have gone out all over the place. As such, it appears that this group is being honest.
