   There's a saying out there that still is true: "Pray for the best, be   
   ready for the worst."   
      
   France and Germany have both smart energy policies, but we can not   
   speak of any American energy policy. Perhaps the only motto is "The   
   more waste the better."   
      
   Ironically France and Germany have opposing strategies, and I dare say   
   the German approach is better. They are simply playing it safe.   
      
   Now, one question: If socialism doesn't work and France is socialist,   
   why they have a clean record on nuclear energy? I think socialism can   
   mean waste but it can also mean cooperation.
