I thank Professor McMullin. He spoke pretty passionately about the need to be self-sufficient from an energy standpoint. I agree with him about solar and other energy. Professor Daly went through the findings from the energy systems scenarios. Something that is missing - and I am not sure if the witnesses have considered this or modelled it in any way, shape or form - is nuclear power. I am thinking of the possibilities nuclear energy could provide in terms of self-sufficiency from an energy standpoint as a cleaner form of energy, although I am not saying it is fully clean. Is that being considered or should it be as we look towards more self-sufficiency from an energy standpoint?
