Paul Johnson has the solution to the world’s energy problems.
The U.S. could consolidate its superpower status with a Global Nuclear Energy Supply System, which, in time, would not only solve the world’s energy problems but would also generate unimaginably vast export earnings, thereby providing a permanent solution to America’s balance-of-payments deficit.
That’ll go over well. The world whines about Starbucks and ICANN, imagine if we controlled the energy.
And are there still nuclear haters? Didn’t that go out of style with the fall of the Soviet Union?
UPDATE: Apparently the Anglicans and God are anti-nuke. I didn’t know. Must be in one of those minor prophet books nobody reads.
There aren’t so many people who are anti-nuke in general as there are people who are “Not In My Back Yard” sorts… they’re happy with nuclear energy, as long as it’s not taking place near them.
And that’s why there are the Dakotas. And Utah. And Nevada.
