America needs to put her best and brightest to work on enhancing our nuclear energy output.
Even for those of us who do not believe in AGW, we need something that will be a reliable, clean source of energy.
It takes time to train people and to build nuclear power plants.
We should get started right now.

Department of Energy Issues Requests for Nuclear Science and Engineering Scholarships and Fellowships ApplicationsWASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced two new Requests for Application (RFA) as part of the Department’s efforts to recruit and train the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers – a critical need as the nation moves toward greater use of nuclear energy to meet our energy needs and address the global climate crisis.
Under the Nuclear Energy University Program, DOE will provide approximately $2.9 million to fund scholarships and fellowships for students enrolled in two or four year nuclear science and engineering programs at accredited U.S. universities and colleges. The Department forecasts approximately 105 undergraduate scholarships and 15 fellowships are to be awarded to U.S. students. Around 30 universities and colleges have submitted a letter of intent to participate in Scholarship and Fellowship Program, a prerequisite for individual students to apply. A list of these universities and colleges is posted on
