The environmentalist's idealistic world doesn't have "costs"; except to the other guy.

much much more bang for the buck. LOL! i would much rather see a state of the art nuclear power plant any day. Does one exist these days? I can't remember the last time I heard of one being built anywhere, although I am sure some have somewhere. I wonder if the Iranians have actually built one although I am too lazy to google it. (These days, I don't actually google anything, I A9 it because I get an extra 1.57% off at amazon.) There are some great views to be had from back roads of the California gold country of the now-shuttered Rancho Seco nuclear plant, although it doesn't look all that romantic up-close. The Trojan plant in Oregon really looks quite ominous when travelling on Highway 30 (as I remember).

i would much rather see a state of the art nuclear power plant any day they will come....it's just a matter of when and where. right now, the technology of all our current nuclear power plants is generation I, similar to the propulsion units on nuclear submarines from the 50's. these plants were licensed for 40 years and many have began applying for 20 year extended licenses. the new design plants re-process their spent fuel, which jimmy cater outlawed in the united states, and therefore do not have the waste problems associated with the old technology. also, if we are to move from a hydrocarbon world to a hydrogen world, nuclear has to lead the way. It takes extreme temperatures and large amounts of electricity to produce hydrogen.
