It amazes me, though, how liberals can bitch about the environment and gas prices, all at the same time.

Ah, if only it were that simple. Nuclear will not solve the energy problem. Insofar as transportation is concerned the issue is liquid fuel. Nuclear plants will not power the fleets of trucks, cars and aircraft that are critical to our economy and life in general. Believe me, the free market is not free.
You seem to blame "liberalists" for the energy problem. This is not a "them against us" issue. Like it or not we are all in this together. If you want to point fingers I suggest aiming at the nearest mirror. We are all to blame. This situation should not surprise anyone. Warnings about energy limits have been heard since the 1950s. Carter was the first president to tell us the truth about oil, and we chose to ignore him - and vote him out of office.
