A bit off topic, but whatever happened to nuclear power generation? The subject seemed to be embraced by both presidential candidates prior to the election, but has not been mentioned since.

If we were really serious about reducing dependence on oil from countries with ideaologies that the US finds to be repugnent, Why not do our best to plan for the eventual reduction/elimination of petroleum imports. Wind and solar are not the panacea they have been made out to be. Nuclear power will generate all the electricity we will need. It can produce hydrogen during off-peak generation times which will provide power for vehicles.

It takes years to build a nuclear power plant. Why not stimulate the economy by building these power plants now, while at the same time provide for succeeding generations?
