"SNIP.............


Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday said it's important to understand the climate may be changing.

"There is things happening with the climate in the world that is unprecedented," McCain said on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked a question regarding why Republicans act as if climate change is not real.

McCain stressed the importance of nuclear power.


"It's the cleanest, cheapest, in many ways, source of power," he said.
"We have to understand that the climate may be changing and we can take commonsense measures which will not harm the American people."

You helped breed a generation of righteous idiots. A bit too late to start lecturing these dolts.

Georgia and South Carolina just got burned big time on the nuclear power plants they have been building for years at great expense. South Carolina has abandoned theirs, Georgia appears to be planning to move forward but is meeting some resistance.
