How many years do you think it will be before another nuclear reactor electric power plant is licensed/allowed in the US :???:
I'm saying 10-20 years.....

My gosh, don't these plants produce barrels of radioactive waste that has to be buried somewhere? Anyone want it next to your property?? Why don't they just tell the whole truth, oh well, too much to ask of politicians ,I suppose.![]()

Clean it's not. And the supply of fuel needed to run them isn't inexhaustible as well. As the saying goes, there's no free lunch.

Altho the radioactive waste is about 1/100th of what it was with the original reactors...
Biggest problem is that reactors need lots of water- putting them on a coast- which opens them up to lots of major natural disasters....
I'm a firm believer in use of multiple sources of energy-- and the fact we need a LONG TERM energy plan- focusing on multiple energy sources- which would give/allow corporate/industry reason for investment...
But on the smiley side of the Japan nuke problems-and continuing opposition for being held hostage by foreign oil - I see the oil/mineral right land I own in the Bakken Oil Field and MonDak Gas just becoming more valuable....![]()

The oil/energy companies brought all this on themselves for not being forward thinking enough and then for greedy profiteering rather than looking/working toward a solution....As energy suppliers they could have been investing those profits into alternatives/infrastructure to keep energy supply sufficient rather than sticking it in their pockets with ever growing multi billion $ profits....I don't feel sorry for them one bit..
