I live near a Naval Nuclear training facility so this area of the country is used to the nuclear plant being part of our lives. If you can believe John McCain will stick to his word he said ,
"If I am elected president, I will set this nation on a course to building 45 reactors by the year 2030. And I will set the goal of 100 new plants to power the homes and factories and cities of America."
He also said,"The need for more production extends as well to another long-neglected source of energy, and that is nuclear power," McCain said in prepared remarks this morning.
"Here, too, opposition to this clean and proven technology has more to do with politics than with the merits. The experience of nations across Europe and Asia has shown that nuclear energy is efficient. It is safe, it is proven, and it is essential to America's energy future," he said.
[These are from remarks he made in June of this year in Vegas.]
Other than storing it in Yucca Mountain, Nevada he has not addressed nuclear waste that I can find but he has given other ideas for alternative fuel and proposes incentives for added research.
