Dissing McCain

The "Dr. No" comment suggests a candidate who is either disoriented, dispirited or just plain disconnected.

    Speaking of nuclear power . . . The French experience

    Have either of the candidates (or their staff) read this website? http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf40.html. It gives a very complete description of the French experience. They get 75% of their electricity from hydro and nuclear, they have the lowest C02 emissions from energy generation per capita in Europe, and they have the cheapest electricity in Europe. Why aren't we talking about this? What's wrong with this picture? (You know why: France is the bogeyman in US elections -- too bad!)
