That is a neat find, Mike. I guess the original song's title is "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel. It happens to be one of my favorite songs because all that he recounts occurred during my lifetime so it it a good review of notable historical events if I can think of their relevance fast enough as the song goes along.

No, that isn't the next bubble. We're already identified the next bubble: Alternative Energy and Infrastructure.

Look: here's the "Netscape" of the Alt Energy Bubble: Nanosolar, Inc.

El Presidente said yesterday he is all out in favor of "nucular" energy.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005

Spin for Voters: What the Energy Bill Means to You

"Key Provisions" that still buries the emphasis on nuclear: Key Provisions of the Energy Tax Act

"A new production tax credit for qualifying advanced nuclear power facilities (certain facilities that produce electricity), effective for production in tax years beginning after the enactment date."

Finally, the facts about nuclear energy and the The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (PDF 551 pages):

Nuclear-specific provisions:

• Extends the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act through 2025;
• Authorizes cost-overrun support of up to $2 billion total for up to six new nuclear power plants;
• Authorizes a production tax credit of up to $125 million total per year, estimated at 1.8 USą/kWh during the first eight years of operation for the first 6.000 MW of capacity[3] ; consistent with renewables;
• Authorizes $1.25 billion for the Department of Energy to build a nuclear reactor to generate both electricity and hydrogen;*
• A provision for the U.S. Department of Energy to report in one year on how to dispose of high-level nuclear waste.

* This provision is key. It is consistent with our vision of lots of small PBMR breeder nuclear power plants near bodies of water generating electricity liquid for city-to-suburb transport and new high speed train service for inter-city travel.
