... Rema, Obama didn't bring up bombing new countries in his state of the union at all, and neither did I. I'm so confused on where this point came up at all.
Japan also runs on Nuclear energy too, last I checked. And thorium is one of the alternatives to uranium, that basically is much safer. I feel like you're completely throwing out the nuclear energy program based on risks like Chernobyl, which was mostly gross mismanagement that would have been prevented by simple steps taken to counteract it. Every alternative energy source will have it's pros and cons, but most of the cons for nuclear energy I've heard aren't very convincing because they rely on Chernobyl. You mentioned the radioactive waste, which is a good argument, but we currently have no sustainable way of disposing of/containing it because the system isn't developed.
The US has invested in alternative energy sources, but we need something realistic and immediate.
