Nuclear Power to the Rescue

It may be expensive to build a nuclear plant, but overall, atomic power is cheaper to produce once the plant is built. And the taxpayers do not have to constantly subsidize operations as they do alternative “green” energy sources, such as wind and solar power.

Atomic waste can be used so that it is minimized. We have a vast mountain in Nevada to store what little there is. The bulk of French electric power now comes from atomic plants. They store their relatively little waste in one room in a small town. And it is safe.

Tests tell us a passenger jet at full speed could not dent the walls of an atomic installation. Only past misconceptions cause the prejudice that prevails today against atomic power, particularly on the political Left.
