Janice believes it is essential that we reevaluate American interests in nuclear power. Once we were told that off-shore oil drilling is safe. The BP disaster in the Gulf last year proved it isn't. We were also told nuclear energy is safe, but events in Japan have shown that it may not always be the safest energy route. Janice is confident that California's tradition of innovation should lead the way to oil and energy independence. Investments and innovation should focus on what we have in California, like wind and solar. Making sure that our power sources are clean, safe, and renewable is crucial for the future of California and the United States
