New Nuclear Plants Not Viable Without Government Support

for nuclear power to be on the table - we have got to have a consensus of the handling of waste. the current situation requires storage at the various plants around the usa because there is no disposal plan.

the incompetents in congress have let this fester for the last 40 years. the reason is not because there are no solutions - the environmental lobby has blocked the solutions. once the waste issue is resolved, it lowers the costs of construction (you do not have to plan for onsite storage). and you do realize the moronic majority speaker of the senate will not allow a facility to be built in his state.

and for those who continue to think nukes are a terrorist threat - i have a little news for you. of course a terrorist hit on a plant would be front page news. but nukes are built in isolated areas limiting damage. but conventional fossil plants are built in populated areas. ask someone what would happen if you strapped explosives on the main steam lines of a plant using superheated steam.

for your kind information.
