The Defeat of NIMBYism?

Nearly all energy experts agree that more nuclear power is necessary to lower energy costs in this nation. However, the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) problem that humans always struggle with has led to political uncertainty, and thus the market hasn't produced a fresh plant in a long, long time. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll gives hope:

"To address the country's energy needs, would you support or oppose action by the federal government to [see below]?" Half sample
						.
		Support	Oppose	Unsure
		%	%	%
						.
	"Build more nuclear power plants"
	8/13-17/09	52	46	2

Asked of those who support building more nuclear power plants: "Would you favor or oppose building a nuclear power plant within 50 miles of your home?"
						.
		Favor	Oppose
		%	%
	8/13-17/09	66	33

It's time that President Obama and Congress ask people to do what is right for their country and accept the construction of new nuclear plants (and windmills and hydroplants...etc. al.) in their neighborhoods.
