Nuclear Energy
is an
independent foundation and not supported by any industry or
nuclear association but by individual support in order to retain our
independence.
Our mission is to influence change in public
opinion towards
knowledgeable citizens about nuclear energy and waste repository
issues.

Unfortunately
our world does not recognize
"superstar scientists"
as they do
entertainers.
Our
country needs a new PROGRAM . . "The
Annual Academia Awards"
Identifying Americas scientists to
Americas Citizens!
Our hats are off to
our Contributing Scientists for their
"superstar science"!
We invite all candidates interested in
providing their position on nuclear energy development
and the Yucca Mountain Repository to send along their position for posting
to our website.
We are not endorsing
candidates, we are reporting on
their "position" on nuclear energy development
Senator John McCain / G
Duarte, US Nuclear Energy
Presidential Candidate Senator John McCain is
Pro Nuclear Energy
and Pro Yucca MT Repository Development.
US Nuclear Energy has talked a couple times with Senator
McCain and we are happy to notify our visitors that Senator McCain
is quite pro nuclear energy development. With experience of having
the Arizona Power Palo Verde nuclear plants in his state . . . a
good understanding of nuclear energy is a definite plus to our
nuclear science interests. In our effort of “Bringing Science To
Citizens” it is helpful that you know there are some political
leaders who understand the value of nuclear energy development and
we need to encourage them as well to continue their interest.
OCT 11,12,13 we attended the CLC in
Reno/Sparks, NV
The
MEDIA table loads up at different times
Armed with our press pass,
US Nuclear Energy is actively seeking
"position statements" on nuclear
energy development from the the Republican attendees to this
conference in Reno/Sparks, Nevada.
This
invitation is OPEN to all candidates in this and in local election
campaigns. We feel strongly that because nuclear energy does not
release any CO-2 gases it should be considered as PART of the GREEN
energy mix. Many political candidates are avoiding nuclear for
political and not science reasons. See

Mitt
Romney in Sparks, NV addressing some of the
conservative Republicans, holds his own on this stop!
Mitt Romney
talks again to another town meeting, he indicates it's about 9 or 10
and promises there will be more Nevada visits.
After
the town meeting Mr. Romney talks to the
Conservative Leadership attendees
. . . one of his
points being, he is one of the few candidates with a wide experience
in SMALL and LARGE business management, this is a quality we feel is
important as we also come from the old school of OJT (on the job
training! Ask an entrepreneur.
After
the town meeting former MA Governor Romney confirmed with Gary
Duarte, Director,
US Nuclear Energy Foundation he is pro-nuclear
. . . in
a direct quote to us, "yes I support nuclear energy development".
There are more candidates on route to this CLC event and we will
have more on them as we "press" the question, What is YOUR position
on nuclear energy?
AZ
Representative John Shadegg, G. Duarte
A lot can be communicated in a short,
focused conversation.
Representative Shadegg
addressed the CLC about bringing the liberal Republicans back into
the "conservative" ranks. He is also one of the few representatives
who supports both nuclear energy AND the Yucca Mountain nuclear
repository in Nevada. The US has spent man years and billions on the
Yucca development. Politics have discouraged political commitment to
support this facility, science supports it.
Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter,
Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter,
Republican Congressman from California also is on the record to
support nuclear energy. We are finding that the majority of
"conservative republicans" are weighing in on the positive side of
nuclear energy.
Former
Nevada Congress-woman Barbara Vucanovich
A pro nuclear energy and Yucca
Mountain supporter;
Former Member of
Congress Barbara Vucanovich was elected in November 1982 to serve
Nevada's 2nd District in Congress. She was reelected to each
succeeding Congress. After serving seven terms in Congress, she
retired in 1996. The "experience" available from many people in
retirement having served the country is astounding . . . we need to
re-tap senior knowledge!
