Ever heard of Occams Razor?
Why not we just use coal and nuclear power like China?
In a few more decades maybe we will have fusion power.
China doesn't care about pollution and life is cheap there. Where are we going to get non-idiot nuclear plant workers from, the public school system? From the same pool of people where half voted for Obama? Many private investors have lost their shirts funding nuclear plants, so there are no investors without special new laws to insure their profits, while others take the risk, sort of like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. Fusion produces radioactive waste too, just less of it. Volume isn't the problem. Where do you put the stuff?
