Unable to figure out on his own why the United States hasn’t built a new nuclear power plant in 30 years, George W. stated during a tour of just such a plant that we need more “safe, clean, reliable electricty,” and apparently installing more nuclear power plants with nuclear waste we’re not sure of what to do with or how to protect them from terrorist attacks is just the ticket!

And we’ll just ignore for the moment that the man’s pending energy bill — loaded to the gills with tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy producers (hello, big oil!) — will cost you and I a net revenue loss of $1.2 billion.

Also: Any guesses as to how many times the first idiot said “nucular” during his tour and pronouncements?
