"One nation today has plans to build almost 50 new reactors by 2020. Another country plans to build 26 major nuclear stations. A third nation plans to build enough nuclear plants to meet one quarter of all the electricity needs of its people -- a population of more than a billion people. Those three countries are China, Russia, and India. And if they have the vision to set and carry out great goals in energy policy, then why don't we?"
This is McCain's comments today on nuclear energy. Here comes the relentless pounding I spoke of on energy. The Republicans finally get it (or at least, finally, McCain) and the bombing run has started. Obama's team is too smart to let this go on forever, but they are taking a beating by "regular Americans" on this. The environmentalists who have had a stranglehold on this issue for 30 years are going to take a pounding also. The pendulum has started swinging back and it may swing very far.
The little person is being hit significantly hard. While economists talk about "core inflation"(inflation that doesn't take into account energy prices and food) being low the little guy pays a significant amount of money on both of those. Add to that GM and Ford are laying off those that make trucks and SUVs. Don't be surprised that McCain is doing so well in Michigan.
Here me out, the working Americans who ran after Hillary are listening to the Republicans. Next on the list: corn to ethanol will be another battleground. That will be especially true now that significant parts of Midwest farmlands are underwater. Not a good week for Al Gore and his buddies.

I think this is a really good blog and the first one I've ever participated in. Thanks Paul.
Hope to have something more meaningful to say soon.

We must not overlook the hand of the Lord in these many things that are happening in and to our country. The Lord may be judging us as a nation for: no prayer in schools, abortion on demand, materialistic values, liberal churches that devalue and change God's word, being involved in plans to divide up Israel, and I'm sure many more things. One thing that we must do is to pray - regularly, powerfully, and intelligently. And we must be in the Word daily. I am praying for a revival, even with the hour being as late as it is.
I hope I can keep up with this blog because it is important to know what is going on. It informs prayer for one thing.
apw mentions that Israel is under pressure to be cut up. In ways like no other time in its history. Ever her allies would like to cut up the country to "make peace". As it has been, and we know why, It'll never work. We do pray for the peace of that nation and Jerusalem in particular. Not a weapon formed against her will will prosper.
