Sen. Chuck Schumer: ‘I’m Still Willing To Look At Nuclear’ Energy
On Meet The Press, Chuck Todd, sitting in for David Gregory, asked Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer about his recent support of nuclear energy and whether in light of the horrific ongoing events in Japan his opinion has changed. Schumer however was not ready to back off from his past statements until we all see how the situation in Japan develops.
Schumer stressed “we do have to free ourselves of independence from foreign oil” and declared that even despite the fears in Japan, “I’m still willing to look at nuclear” so long as it is done “safely and carefully.” With the dangers of nuclear power now prominently featured in ongoing coverage of Japan’s earthquake aftermath, it certainly will be interesting to see if and how the political discussion regarding our own commitment to nuclear energy changes.
