Yeah I know. Some of the Green Weeny concerns are valid, some are not. Some of them need an introduction to Round Up.
Nuclear energy is too good to pass up. If, I say If, reactor technology was approached in the manner of space program in the early years there would not be a problem. What makes nuclear energy scary is the lo bid process. I wonder how many astronauts lives were sacrificed to the lo bid demon. Originally Nasa did what it took to get the job done. No political mile posts to tilt, no media circus to entertain. Just get the job done. Reactors could be operated in the same manner. I can hear the screams now. Halliburton doesn't deserve that contract. etc etc Give it to Wal-Mart. The Chinese will do it cheaper. Aaagh
