unemployment reaches 15%.
All of these amendments never made
it out of committee as they went down
in defeat.
Now, exactly what should we do to
alleviate C02 emissions and declare
complete independence from foreign oil
exporting countries? First and foremost
we need a government commitment to
allow private industry to build nuclear
power plants. It is possible to fast track
these in 10 years with federal coopera
tion.
It is unbelievable to me that some
people don't understand that these
plants do not emit anything to the
atmosphere, no C02 or any other harm
ful emissions, which all fossil-fueled
power plants do. I'm talking about
such current pollutants such as nitrous
oxide, sulfur oxide, volatile organic com
pounds such as methylene, phenol-tolu
ene and even mercury.
Again, there are NO emissions to the
air; for crying out loud, nuclear plants
don't even have a smoke stack!! The
emission you might see from a 'nuke'
is only water vapor from the cooling
tower.
I worked on Callaway No.l in mid
Missouri installing a 1,200 mega-watt
nuclear turbine-generator, which has
performed at 100% efficiency since com
mission in the early eighties.
During all these years, not one par
ticle of emissions reached the atmo
sphere.
The energy produced in France is
80% derived from nukes, Belgium is
54%, Sweden 46% and Switzerland
43%. All of these are very clean coun
tries.
Sadly we only produce about 20%
of nuke power and as things stand
now there are not a lot on the drawing
boards.
The other thing we need to do is
declare complete independence from
foreign oil exporting countries. While
we are waiting the 10 years for nukes
to come on stream, we need to start
drilling the millions of barrels of oil
in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
(ANWR) region.
For those opposed to defiling pristine
land consider the following:
The proposed area in which we wish
to drill is equivalent to a single 8.5" by
11" sheet of notebook paper placed on
a standard basketball court; the paper
being the drill area and the court being
the whole of ANWR.
And, of course we should continue to
develop alternative energy sources, but
even T. Boone Pickens has changed his
priorities from wind power to natural
gas.
I still have high hopes for hydro
gen (H2) cars but they are probably a
decade or more away.
Anyway, our Congressman Jack
Kingston has the same reservations
as I concerning ACES. This radical bill
requires serious re-thinking. □
