Re: Case for nuclear energy 'overwhelming'? (4.00 / 2)

As a former supporter of nuclear power in the US my 40 years of experience is that the NucEnergy people here lie. They lie about the costs. They lie about the benefits. They lie about operating expenses. They lie about operating problems. They lie about waste management. They lie about risks.

And then they build a nuclear power plant directly on the San Andreas fault.

While I still think nuclear power, in the abstract, makes a hell of a lot of sense I wouldn't trust the present band of yahoos with a power plant constructed of rubber bands, baling wire, and gerbil-powered treadmills.
