Harry Reid's re-election almost guaranteed that nuclear power expansion is a no-go

He and his mafia casino backers (worried about tourism yeah) are determined to prevent use of the nuc waste storage site at Yucca Mtn, which is basically sitting there ready to go and empty

Without a national plan or depository for nuke waste, and with the anti-nuke crowd and enviros having killed off the fuel reprocessing option, nuc plants cannot be built and start operations, current sites cannot,expand or even power up beyond reduced operations most are now running

Without a national plan or depository for nuke waste,

Thorium reactors. No waste depository necessary. In fact, they can be used to safely deactivate spent fuel and weapons grade material. Thorium is cheap, abundant and safe.
