I support it’s use on subs and carriers. But the civillian sector? not so much. I support the research and devlopment aspect of it and I have no problem with limited reprocessing for purposes of obtaining plutonium in order to maintain the nuclear weapon stockpile but the nuclear waste issue has yet to be sufficiently resolved such that I can support its wide spread use. I’d just rather burn coal and use wind and solar to supplement that. I’m sure we’ll end up resorting to nuclear energy though but that doesn’t mean I’m going to support it. It’s just a disaster waiting to happen.
I support all uses of atomic energy.
Obviously you aren’t familiar with the changes in civilian nuclear power since TMI. Years ago it wasn’t unusual to read about a problem at a nuclear plant. Utilities that owned nuclear plants split into those that understood the managerial, financial and operational commitments needed to run the plants and those that either didn’t or knew they didn’t have the right stuff. Those that made the necessary commitments ended up owning and operating the nuclear plants.
That commitment is why you rarely read about a problem today. Even the federal government’s failure to honor its commitment with regard to spent fuel has been accomodated by the industry. The faster we move to more nuclear power, the faster we get off the oil tit providing electric cars emerge as viable and hopefully end the desecration that is mountain top removal.
