An energy system no more wasteful than Japan or Germany, eh?  Has Jerry
toured the construction sites of the 3+ ABWR's GE is building in Japan?
(ABWR = ADVANCED BOILING WATER REACTOR = NUCLEAR POWER)  Yes the Japanese
are very practical, knowledgable, pragmatic in their approach to energy.
Energy is required for an expanding society, and they have chosen the
cleanest (for its generating capacity), most efficient and economical
source of base load energy production.  What does Jerry propose to 
replace the base load capacity in this country?

Cogeneration is an excellent option and should be pursued where feasible.
But I seriously wonder if he has considered the waste streams generated
by clean solar energy, the environmental impact of wind generation stations,
and the generally O&M intense sources of energy he proposes.

Jerry spouts as much rhetoric as Clinton.
