Comments on: Close Oyster Creek http://www.pennwellblogs.com/nuclear_notions/2009/04/07/close-oyster-creek/ A PennEnergy.com Blog with William Tucker Thu, 17 May 2012 05:16:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Kelley Jones Sr. http://www.pennwellblogs.com/nuclear_notions/2009/04/07/close-oyster-creek/#comment-192 Kelley Jones Sr. Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:46:13 +0000 http://www.pennwellblogs.com/nuclear_notions/2009/04/07/close-oyster-creek/#comment-192 Mr.Tucker, A very interesting article. I know that everyone in America if for "green energy". But, people are listening to a "dream". We must continue to use oil..gas and coal till an "efficient" green fuel is invented. All the wind...solar..ethanol....water...geothermal..etc. simply does not work as efficient as oil..gas and coal at this point. Nukes are where we need to be, I believe. Why would Obama cut funding for Yucca Mountain nuke storage? It should be needed. I am in the oil and chemical plant inspection business. The Obama plans are beginning to kill this industry. Capitol spending is drying up. Potential new taxes combined with cutting back on leases will start to lead to layoffs very soon. I do not understand why the plan does not include oil and gas for at least the next 20 yrs. The petrochemical/oil industry is the 2nd largest revenue producer for the US government, right behind the IRS. But, Obama treats us like a "stepchild". Lease dollars....royality dollars....gas/fuel tax dollars...millions of jobs are going to go away. Then we will have to import our "plastic" to manufacture things in the US when refineries slow down..( 35% of a barrel of oil produces plastic for our plastic manufacturers in the US). We are going down the wrong road...to fast. Hope the nuke industry takes off again. Keep up the very informative articles. Regards, Kelley Jones Sr. Mr.Tucker,
