“Re: Let’s start by pointing out that in Three Mile Island nobody was killed or injured.” I live not too far from Three Mile Island, so please don’t lecture me on how safe that accident supposedly was. “
You mean only people who live next to TMI are knowledge about nuclear power?
So you’ve lived for years near a nuclear power plant, and you are safe? don’t glow in the dark? Who’d a thunk!
“I would much rather have fields full of solar panels than 1 nuclear power plant near me. “
well then, move to the arizona desert. Putting solar panels in arable land in ofen-cloudy PA is a waste of good real estate. it will never happen.
You would need 4,000 plants of the type described below to equate to 1 Three Mile Island.
8,000,000 MWh from TMI vs 2,000 MWh from this plant.

It would take up 10,000 acres or about 18 square miles.
Much like the cost of IC processing power and memory, solar costs are going to be dropping over the coming years and decades. You can ignore tha facts if you want, but the future is solar.
