Using Chernobyl as an example of the risk for these new plants, or even plain old American plants is an example of misjudgeing relative risks.

More people have been killed by other energy sources even counting Chernobyl. And if you really believe in global warming as a massive human caused threat that, and that we have to make a big cut in CO2 emissions to avoid it than your choices are, nuclear, world wide recession, or live with disasterous global warming.


Tim, I know what the facts are. I am saying its more psychological than real. However, the people who are in charge make the situation worse. When they were trying to pass the Patriot Act, all they talked about was a plane flying into a nuclear reactor and wreaking incredible havoc.

How can you then turn around and tell people that nukes are good for them? More importantly, do you think people are going to believe you?
