Comments on: The good, the bad and the ugly of the Gang-of-10 drilling deal, Part 2: Something for nothing? http://climateprogress.org/2008/08/17/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-the-gang-of-10-drilling-deal-part-2-something-for-nothing/ The Latest on Climate Science, Solutions, and Politics Fri, 09 Jan 2009 07:27:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Mauri Pelto http://climateprogress.org/2008/08/17/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-the-gang-of-10-drilling-deal-part-2-something-for-nothing/#comment-17733 Mauri Pelto Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:46:18 +0000 http://climateprogress.org/2008/08/17/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-the-gang-of-10-drilling-deal-part-2-something-for-nothing/#comment-17733 I completely agree with the compromise aspect, as it seems the only way to progress. I look forward to reading what is ugly about it. I must say it was very interesting this summer to actually see the number of new wind projects popping up in the state of New York and in Washington. To date everyone I meet thinks they are not an eyesore but a good spectacle. I completely agree with the compromise aspect, as it seems the only way to progress.

However, I was pleased to see that the deal actually has some forethought in starting to train people to build nukes again. I was actually just thinking about that yesterday, and how the people with experience actually building them are about ready to retire. That, and welders were hard to come by in the nuclear boom times, so I can't imagine how hard it will be to find them now. I still don't think more than one or two will ever be built, though.
