my turn to play devils advocate . . .
Nuclear is great, but what do you do with the waste? Sure its alot less than the ash comming from coal, but America doesn't have a solution to store the waste it currently produces. Increase that by 5x and you will have more serious problems than greenpeace protesting ANWR. Speaking of which, the public opinion of nuclear isn't that high (however misguided). Those who know about nuclear power know its extremely safe, but the public typically cares about what happens when something goes wrong not how likely that event is.
As far as drilling your own reserves, what do you do when they run low after a couple decades of fueling America?
