In an effort to appease political supporters during an election year, President Obama has effectively turned his back on our economy and has decided to ignore the potential to create more than 100,000 American jobs. You can’t be pro-jobs and anti-pipeline. You can’t be pro-energy independence and anti-pipeline. It’s a real shame this Administration has decided to reject jobs and growth in order to avoid what they perceive to be a thorny political issue. This project has received wide support from both sides of the aisle - including major Labor Unions.

We have twenty-something year old Navy sailors who are maintaining MOBILE nuclear reactors on submarines and ships all over the world with very few if any mishaps. I'm confident that the same scientists who came up with those designs can come up with STATIONARY reactors that are safe and effective.

As conservatives, we believe that individuals should be free to choose their own energy options and encouraged to do so in a way that respects the natural environment. We further believe that the government should stop meddling with our freedom to make such choices and allow the brilliant individuals in our nation to develop new energy choices using free market principles.
