“Japan has a 45 year history with nuclear reactors and they have over 50 of them online now. Japan’s safety record has been superb over those 45 years.”

So one melt down in 45 years is acceptable to you?

It was the support systems (back up diesel generators) on the oldest reactors that failed. These plants have withstood an 8.9 earthquake. I'm pretty sure I have seen that some plants use steam from the reactor to pump water. These plants are fine.

This should be a ringing endorsement of the safety of nuclear reactors - when properly designed.

There were over 7-million car accidents in the United States in 2010. There were over 35-thousand deaths as a result of those accidents in 2010. Would you ban cars and roads?

No sensible person would.

Oh but energy is a different story altogether when it comes to socialists and liberals. When it comes to sources of energy and energy production, the socialists and liberals lose all credibility.
