We’ve regulated ourselves into danger. We’re using old technology because building new modern energy generation plants is virtually impossible.

Instead Obozo wants to blow money on “smart grid” tech that doesn’t mean crap if a 50 year old power plant fails.

Precisely. Small, gravitational sodium cooled nukes have nothing in common with the technological dinosaurs run far beyond their design life, whose death throes we are witnessing.

Well said. France, Japan and other nations continue to build new plants but we've not built one since 1974.

MSNBC already ran with an alarmist piece highlighting the 13 GE Mark I plants here in the U.S. and allegations of "design flaws." Completely irresponsible of them and far removed from the Japanese situation but they want eyeballs for ads and will do anything to get them even if it panders to mass hysteria.
