Journalist William Tucker discusses America's need to switch to alternative energies. He explains why hydroelectric, wind, and solar are either impractical or insufficient, and why the only real solution is nuclear. He praises it for being clean, efficient, powerful, and, surprisingly enough, safe.

I totally support Nuclear Power, Solar Power, and Geothermal power.
He doesn't mention solar powered cars, the full utility of solar power, and actual size of the nuclear waste over time. But great presentation.
If he was more energitic and spoke a little faster or stop pausing, the presentation could have been less then 50 minutes.
The presentation is comprehensive and provides a logical conclusion; however, it is a boring hour. The same material provided by a dynamic lecturer would make it a great presentation!!
