You just hype the nuclear fear like the anti-nuke-nazis like Jane Fonda, et al

No idea what that was supposed to mean but I'm assuming you are saying that we are somehow going to overcome the bad rap that nuclear power has in most parts of this nation. Good luck with that.

Nuclear power does not have a bad rap, it polls very well.

“Survey Finds Two-thirds of Americans Support Use of Nuclear Energy”

“Record-High 70 Percent Favor Nuclear Energy; Public Supports Planning for More Plants”

I think what sierraWasp is telling you is that you shouldn’t be peddling the discredited talking points of the anti-nuclear left. After almost 40 years of safe commercial electricity generation in the US, nuclear energy has gained a lot of credibility as an environmentally friendly, non-GHG-emitting, safe and economical source of energy. it can and should be part of our future energy mix, and people in the US agree with that view.

We can and we should increase our use of nuclear energy significantly in the future as we get beyond the fossil fuel age.
