California has already decided against more nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power probably won't directly remove dependence on countries in Southwest Asia and Venezuela for oil, as only a tiny fraction of electricity production (to be used to send electricity to houses and buildings, etc.) is from oil.
More (9'11's are Okey dokey,, but NO MORE nuke power plats,,,they're dangerous.
I dunno, sounds like the EOD motto.....
One of thousands of vampire bat attorneys waiting to slam the brakes on new nuke construction. The utilities and plant manufacturers better have a plan on how to deal with guys like this or there will be no new plants.
Totally wrong. There will still need to be cooling towers for the operation of the reactor (that heat has to go to the environment somehow). All that "passive safety" means is that those cooling towers can be somewhat smaller and of different design. There will still need to be redundant pumps--just fewer of them. Same for the backup diesel generators--the instrumentation will still need electric power when the reactor goes down--so the only effect is that the backup generators can be smaller and cheaper.
Why can't reporters EVER get the story straight!!!!
