You want safe clean energy, use solar or wind and stay away from nuke
bombs in your back yard.
#1 - How do you prevent the spread of nuclear weapons? - You can't.
#2 - Where are you putting the spent fuel? - Just leaving it in ponds or
even shipping it invites terrorist attacks.
#3 - You have no fail-safe technology actually in use. Just think TMI or
Cheneroble.
#4 - How are you going to get rid of the nuke plants in 50 or 100 years?
Small ones have been decommisioned, but how do you prevent the big ones
from just going bankrupt and sticking the taxpayers for the cost? You
can't. Money set aside today just won't cover tomorrow's expenses.

*****.

The genie is out of the bottle.

It can be recyled so there's almost no waste. And where the hell
do you think it came from to begin with. Why the earth!
#3 - You have no fail-safe technology actually in use. Just

Modern reactor technology has changed all that. They now design
the plants so they fail by dropping the rods OUT of the core,
instead of into the core. Duh! They also design the systems
better.
#4 - How are you going to get rid of the nuke plants in 50 or
100 years?
We don't need to get rid of them, we need to build more, and
fast. We need to get away from burning fossil fuels.

This was a reply posted today to my nuclear group on Yahoo:
They should put their money where their mouth is, and stop
relying on the US taxpayer to artifically subsidize nuclear
power with government-mandatated liability limits. When the
nuclear power plant industry competes on the open market with
everyone else, including buying liability insurance on the
open market like everyone else, I'll begin to believe that
nuclear plants might be safe and/or clean.
The following excerpt is from the testimony of NEI SVP John E.
Kane before the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee in the US
House of Representatives on 02/16/2005:
http://www.nei.org/documents/Testimony_Kane_02-16-05.doc
"...The federal government has never paid a penny under Price-
Anderson for commercial reactor licensees. To the contrary, the
federal government has received $21 million in indemnity fees
from utilities. In addition, the act has served as a model for
legislation in other areas, ranging from vaccine compensation
and medical malpractice to chemical waste cleanup..."
The Price Anderson Act is NOT a government subsidy of commercial
nuclear power.
