[Vision2020] Idaho Governor Otter Asks US Energy Secretary ChuAbout the Future of Nuclear Energy

[Paul Rumelhart]

I would like to amend my statement to say that we should invest in any 
other type of *non fossil fuel* energy that we can find.  I think we 
should get off of oil as much as possible as quickly as possible for a 
variety of reasons, mostly politics, the dangers to our economy of being 
dependent upon oil when peak oil hits, and pollution concerns (including 
CO2 if global warming is indeed happening).
