BRATTLEBORO — According to Reuters News Service, President Obama at a public meeting in New Orleans “spoke about the need to rely more heavily on nuclear energy as the United States looks for ways to reduce greenhouse gases blamed for global warming."
Our president - and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize - believes that the United States needs “to rely more heavily on nuclear energy.”
Listen up, Vermont legislators: if President Obama wants more reliance on nuclear energy, help him out and vote for the relicensing of Vermont Yankee. It is an important move toward reducing global warming and helping the economy in Vermont.
