I can't think of one.

When we get the sh!t out of our heads, and look BACK to nuclear power, we'll get a handle on energy independance. As long as we want to be sniveling NIMBY types about where the power plants and waste will go, we'll stay slaves to foreign oil.


I agree with this 100%. The difference I was getting at, is that a coal fired power plant or a natural gas burner actually have business models that make money.

We already know there are a bunch of nuclear reactors floating in Puget Sound right now. They are perfectly safe and controlled. Fear of nuclear power is about the same as fear of getting ate by a shark when you are swimming ath the Y.
