Uranium: Safely and Efficiently Powering the Future [View article]
I am a chemist by day. Nuclear makes perfect sense to me as a better trade-off, not as a perfect solution. At $120+ per barrel, oil is draining wealth from successful, creative, hard-working countries and sending it to corrupt states with little else to offer the world (Saudi Arabia, a kingdom no less, Russia, essentially a monarchy under King Putin, Venezuela under our buddy Hugo, etc.). Ethanol is a horrible trade-off as those starving to death today would attest if they were still alive. Sure, drill in Alaska, that works for me. But if we did not have nuclear today I can't imagine how much worse life would be. Go big U !
