Dear Sir,

Where are the courageous men in government? a has been many years since the people of this country have had heroes in government. And t
I, like Diogenes looking for an honest man, am searching for brave, courageous men to vote for who will retuin our country to the way it was when every boy wanted to grow up to be President.
I love my country, and I deplore the attitude of those in control.
I want someone in the driver's seat who will stand up and recognize that we are in an energy-short situation and say, let's really do something about it.
Nuclear generation of electricity, allowed to grow without the stringent--sometimes nit-picking--restrictions and long time-delays, can give us electricity at much lower cost than either oil (which is 2\\ times more expensive) or coal (which is 1 times more expensive). And it has proven 100% safer than either oil or coal. Note the accidents, disease and deaths caused by coal mining alone. We need both coal and nuclear to survive this century, but nuclear, because of its lower cost, safety, and availability, should be given first preference.
The nuclear uaste problems have been solved on the drawing board, but no one will take a stand on implementing the solutions. Even recycling of the waste (which is a proven possibility) would lessen considerably the amount to be buried.
The public is becoming educated on energy problems and solutions and also becoming aware of where the bottlenecks occu-that continually help shrink the size of their pocketbooks. They are =aking themselves heard both vocally and at the polls. It is time to gcc-in.,.our,beh,alfq It is time for well-informed gcvernment officials;tp 7 tac Q 1;4ve).y,,,
