Reply #238: We are still here. Certainly rethinking a nuclear approach now. [View All]

With current rules, regulations and the business model for Nuke plants my stance has changed. Not unless they reformed all of it would I support them the same way. I still feel other energy models are more dangerous, oil and coal. We aren't in Iraq and Lybia to get more uranium. Far more people experience a negative health impact from coal than from Nuclear.

Problem I see with nuclear power is we simply have no control over what the nuclear operators do. One can envision a massive disaster coupled with say an outbreak of disease. What do we do if the operators simply decide to go home or leave. We are totally screwed. At this point in time governments simply are not able to take on what would be required to make them safe, secure and accountable.

So we are not quiet, just trying to think of a better way to do things.
