Nuclear is impressive in its ability to produce the next generation of power for mankind, but it is far more impressive in the ignorance that surrounds it.

Impressive is hydro/wind currents, cheap, non stop, multi production generators that can be put in back rifts where boats can not go.
It's not the next generation, it produces a waste that is far more toxic than anything cars put out. It is expensive, it has had problems, and several sit un-used today.

The U.S. Already is the largest users of Nuc power. When a power plant is used after a long enough time, it fills up with waste. Which is where and why Yucca Mountain came around.
Lots of people will have trained in nuc waste going right near the areas they live. Add more and more power stations, and you have more and more disasters waiting to happen.
The Industry gives the Gov money to dispose of the waste, do you really trust them to do it correctly, forever, for your kids, grandkids, ect sakes?
