I am afraid this is going to get worse before it gets better. 
On a related note.
I would like to hear from the anti-nuke people how nuclear power is not safe for the environment. Seems to me that we have had more environmental disasters with non-nuclear industries than we have had with nuclear industries. The US nuclear reactor safety record is pretty good. 
We really need to build more nuclear reactors that are smaller, more efficient, and safer than the current old reactors we have today.  |
It never ceases to amaze me how people are comfortable with thousands of deaths per year due to coal mining, oil transport accidents, and the like - but mention nuclear power and they start to rage. Three Mile Island didn't kill anyone, and Chernobyl only happened b/c of a bad reactor design that IIRC has never been used in the US.
