George Hussein McGovern on the Disarmament of America

Powerline reposted this video in light of current events in Georgia:

...I will seek a global ban on the development of fissile material...

Wouldn't that entail shutting down most, if not all nuclear power plants? So, aside from disarming the last best hope of democracy in the world, you want to condemn the rest of the world to live in the dark? How are you are going to jawbone every country in the world into giving up their nuclear power plants, knowing at the same time, your Green friends are not going to want to burn any more coal or oil or natural gas or build any new dams: Will they accept your leadership back to the Stone Age?
