Bush talked about energy in his first term. Nothing ever became of that. He said the Americans are addicted to oil. I do agree with him on this. I think it will take nearly running out of oil before something gets done about it.
It's my opinion, but i disagree with you on the phone tapping. I think it should be legal. Everyone wants to live in America without terrorism, yet many don't think it should be legal to do such activities such as eavsdropping. We have to do whatever it takes.
He also mentioned heathcare (OF COURSE) as he does in all his speeches. He also said we have to start protecting doctors from meaningless lawsuits. I DO agree with him on this. Lawsuits have become ridiculous.
Bottom line: His speech means nothing to me until something actually gets done.

That's fine that we disagree, it's just my opinion.
But something IS BEING DONE about the energy situation. The NRC is receiving a large amount of money, and will be distributing it to the companies involved with building and maintaining and operating these plants. At my work alone, we already have a huge amount of contracts being worked right now for new plants around the US, as well as many Asian countries, and a few European countries. Westinghouse is only one of the companies out there building plants too. So I'm sure the others also have a lot on their plate, not just us.
