Hobson on SOU: Where's The Nuclear?

Today's Columbus Dispatch includes reactions to last night's State of the Union speech from a number of Ohio politicians including Congressman David Hobson. He had this to say about the President's energy policy:

"We were told that the administration would present an energy plan to 'knock your socks off." I didn't hear anything this evening that I wouldn't support in a general sense, such as improving fuel efficiency and promoting the use of alternative energy sources such as ethanol, clean coal and renewable fuels. But... the administration should have also emphasized the use of other energy sources like nuclear power because it's clean-burning and reliable."
