His head-in-the-sand nuclear energy polices helped decimate the entire industry by barring plutonium recycling in light water reactors. At the time of his administration, the United States was the world's leader in nuclear power including plutonium recycling. Now, we are importing twice as much oil and are also dependant on nuclear technology from foreign sources. br> -- Tom Bullock br> West Covina, California /p> p> Well said Mr. Tyrrell, but in some ways isn't it good to have this living, walking, breathing example of a Democratic President directly in front of us? What a great example of what the American people get when they buy into the obfuscation handed out by Democrat candidates. Bill Clinton has helped on that front as well it seems as he has campaigned for his lovely wife Bruno, as I believe you call her. In a perfect world they could both be in a jar but I think the example they set can be useful for many Americans as we approach election day. br> -- Roger Ross
