Thank you - I'm amazed at the amount of information in this concise post.

I worked at the 'cutting edge' of laser beam research fresh out of college in 1963, at the Griffith AF Base in Rome, NY. At the time, I had to have classified clearance. A lot of my research was studying the spectrums of various materials, looking for good candidates for Lasers.

Bev and I were newlyweds and we lived in a farmer's woods, with his permission, about 10 miles from Rome. I used to shower and shave at work. We had a '54 Ford V8 that I had bought for $50. We commuted to Rome together - she got a job as an RN at the hospital.

The historical look back at Hillary selling our uranium to Russia is a really significant event that was unpopular when she did it and now can be considered stupid. We should be moving toward nuclear electricity generation and to do that we need permits and fuel. Both are short of what is required to meet implementation this decade. The USA has several promising research projects and technology demonstration projects underway. These need to receive priority treatment to accelerate commercialization. Secretary Wright is aware of this and it has some of his focus. Let’s keep the pressure on the politicians to behave properly and get busy (actually show up for work) to streamline federal permitting and control activist federal agency staffers slow walking their work to delay advancing processing.

Yes, Hillary's shenanigans with that fishy uranium deal with Russia, and also her opposition to the Ketstone XL pipeline, did a lot of damage to our country, and the effects have been long-lasting.

Absolutely!
