We’ve headed back into Northwest Ohio where we stumped in downtown Port Clinton and then we were interviewed by the News Herald <\/em>there. Reporter Kristina Smith asked my wife (and ‘almost First Lady’) Liz about the long road we’ve been on (three elections, 75,000 miles to date). Liz responded that: “We live in a culture of instant gratification. This (the campaign) is long term. It is a real commitment.” During the interview, I said America should be stridently exploring alternative energy sources. [However, one alternative energy source I am adamantly opposed to is: nuclear power.] This evening we took our children to a small beach on Lake Erie, in Port Clinton. As they walked the shore line looking for driftwood and shells, off in the distance — in what could be best described as an: eerie back drop — the Davis Bessee Nuclear Power Plant’s steam rose into the dreary, gray twilight sky. Just a couple years prior, (in what received much national coverage) a part of the Davis Bessee reactor had corroded to an alarming, razor thin thickness — before it was discovered. This technology, based on the research we’ve done, is way<\/em> too dangerous. And in our quest for “immediate gratification (in the case of nuclear power: abundant energy now),” to quote Liz, we are putting children in this generation, and those in future generations, at tremendous risk. Note:<\/strong> Earlier in the day, we stopped at the Coffee Express in Port Clinton. T-shirts on the employees of the coffee house all read: “Life is short… Stay awake for it!” Let’s all stay awake for this nuclear thing as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
