I think we all know that nuclear
energy is in our future, but many precautions, and preparations, must be made before it
goes full scale.

Won't happen until the system becomes infallible. Since humans are always fallible, can't foresee more nuclear plants.....it's not worth the risk.

I would rather start reading at night by the light of a fireplace or kerosene lamps.

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention. No opinion one way or another regarding increased nuclear power plants...

Speaking of those funny looking windmills in California....i wonder if there was a lot concern for the environmental impact installing those had?.....or is it not pc to do so?.....or maybe it is only important criticize those projects that might turn a profit?

The site DaveM posted shows that they did find the flaws in those plants which denotes inspections and concern for safety....i live within 2 miles of a nuclear plant and they seem to be on an "outage" as often as they are generating....and sure, we have concerns about the plant...but there was also much debate and hand wringing over attempts to build several gas powered generating plants in the area ...

Personally...give me some of that nasty old electric ....for two bucks a day ..i will forego the joy of firewood lighting.
