Nuclear Power Still a Valid Option


Despite the recent Japanese problem which is unique because of location, nuclear power is still an option.

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

And It took a tsunami plus an earthquake to cause the century-rare damage that occurred in Japan. This can be easily avoided here.

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 comes from atomic source. They store their relatively little waste in one room in a small town.

Tests prove a passenger jet at full speed could not dent the walls of an atomic installation. Only past misconceptions cause prejudice that prevails against atomic power, particularly on the political Left. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
