“The nuclear power industry employs mostly well-paid English speaking male conservative engineers with above average intelligence. Half the country will never agree to nuclear power because of that.”
LOL. God forbid the kind of guys who put a man on the moon advocate for our future ...
Polls on nuclear power show about 65-70% support. some of the more rational environmentalists are jumping on the bandwagon.
” I wonder why China doesn’t take the nuclear power lead.”
FWIW, China is building more new nuclear plants than the US.
The main building boom for nuclear power is in Asia.
The Japanese, who generally favor quality, have been having nuclear accidents and trying to hide them. I wonder how China will do with their preference for cheap. At least they are far away from us.
About the only way nuclear power could be financially viable in America at this time is if the plants were made offshore on wheels for an "undisclosed buyer", then shipped in real quick to a surprise location and turned on. The 20 years it takes to build a nuclear plant in this country is too target rich for our lawyers.
