 by Dwight Rousu - Oct. 26, 2009

The article sounds like an echo chamber of pro-nuke advocates. Little serious mention of the risks and dangers of nuke power. No direct mention of the industry attempts to buy legislators to approve privatizing nuke profits and putting all the risk on taxpayers. No mention of the footprint of nuke upon water nor of the indirect carbon footprint. No mention of safe available solar power.

Environmentalists still vilify nuclear energy.
