Transcript of comments delivered at a campaign stop in South Carolina

I think nuclear power has to be part of our energy solution. I think we've gotta do a better job at figuring out how we're going to deal with the waste. You know, because in a post 9/11 world we've got to be very careful about the waste and about how we run our nuclear plants.

Ah, but I, I don't have any preconceived opposition. I wanta be sure that we do it right, as carefully as we can--because obviously it's a tremendous source of energy. We get about twenty percent of our energy from nuclear power in our country. A lot of people don't realize that. and other countries, like France, get, you know, much much more.

So we do have to look at it because it doesn't put greenhouse gas emmissions into the air. But we gotta make sure it's done as safely as possible. We're going to count on people like your husband to help us get the answers.
