McCain calls for nuclear reactors

John McCain may be finally getting it, at least in terms of understanding the energy crunch most Americans are experiencing as a result of soaring gas prices. On the stump today McCain called for the US to build 45 nuclear reactors by 2030. Currently, the US gets 20% of its energy from nuclear power but the problem is we have not built a new reactor since the late 1970s. Compare this with the French, who generate over 80% of their energy from nuclear power, and you can see the rub.

It's been 2,672 since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless.
