Nuclear Power... you don't say?

The San Diego Union Tribune reports:

"Spurred by concerns about global warming, a state Senate committee launched an inquiry yesterday into the potential of using nuclear power as a clean energy source.

Yesterday's special session in San Diego was the first time in two decades that the Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities and Communications held hearings on nuclear power, said Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, the panel's chairwoman. "

That thumping sound you hear is Assemblyman Chuck Devore beating his head against the wall.
