After Fukishima you would think we would be quickly shutting down the nuclear industry. This industry needs to shut down ASAP.

What a load of CRAP. My late father in law was in charge of building the Nuke plants for Florida Power and Light in Miami for about thirty years. He literally BUILT the Turkey Point Nuke plant in Miami. He held an SC.D in Nuclear Physics, a higher degree than a PH.D because it has all math and science instead of the usual Humanities and philosophy regimen in the other. The Fukishima nd Chernobyl disasters (and Three Mile Island for that matter) were a direct result of corner cutting to keep costs down. Properly built, the nuclear power option is the only hope for powering this nation's future.

Thanks for telling the facts about the nuclear industry. For years, I listened to the great nuclear scientist/inventor/Professor Bill Wattenburg on his late evening radio show Sat and Sundays. He fought the Calif bureaucrats on everything under the sun. His voice is missed because like your father-in-law he was the man who built these things. And knew that clean nuclear energy was the solution to the “energy crisis”. Mistakes will be made. The nuclear industry overall has a tremendous safety record.
