McCain will be the winner in the presidential debate in Nashville when it comes to clean coal, pounding Obama (not your diamond in the rough) into a smoldering ember ready to burn out in a matter of weeks.

It won’t matter what the two say or do during the debate, the media will present Obama as the leading candidate, the winner by a slight margin.

Every media outlet will look for a survey until they find one with the results that they want to put the lump of coal, um, Obama into the lead.

Soon-to-be Republican U.S. presidential candidate, John McCain wants to add to the 104 nuclear reactors currently operating in the States. He wants to add 45 nuclear power plants by 2030.

Additionally, he wants to pledge $2 billion each year in federal funds “to make clean coal a reality.”

The 104 nuclear reactors produce about 20% of the country’s electricity needs. And America has enough coal to last us forever maybe? Though, forever is a really long time.

America has not seen a new nuclear power plant go online in over 30 years but if McCain had his way, we’d have 45 in 20 years and another 55 after that, providing for nearly half of our energy needs.

In addition to the energy these two projects will deliver…can you say J-O-B-S? No relation to that Apple Inc. guy.

Hear hear! Nuclear power is a viable alternative in my book IF it is managed correctly. Clean coal? Absolutely. What’s the alternative?
