We still cannot get a self-sustaining reaction for more than a few seconds before it dies out. Maybe my great-grandchildren will see it.

Well, that may very well be true which is why I said, IF we have to go nuclear.

We have better alternatives - the biggest energy problem facing us are the Leftists in government.

Meanwhile, going nuclear is a great idea unless they put one near where you live. Or near your loved ones. Or where your food sources are.

Or nuclear waste that sooner or later seeps into our water supply or sea life (containers that apparently are corroding on the ocean floor - glowing oceans - apocalyptic Biblical foretelling of people around the world dying of poisoned waters (many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. Revelation 8:11.)).

I call BS on that. You are a technical ignoramus. I have lived within 15 miles of an operating nuclear plant since 1990. I currently live about 6 miles from a BWR (Dresden)that is the same design as Fukushima. There are no increased cancer cases, no contaminated food/water supplies.

The alternatives are:

1)natural gas, which if no new pipelines are allowed to be built will cause the price of gas to skyrocket and make it more expensive than nuclear again. If you build the power plants near the sources and ship the electricity, you will lose ~5% in line losses, and BTW, no one wants transmission lines because technically ignorant folks like you are scared of the pseudoscience claims of EM fields causing cancer.

2) Coal - Cheap, but very dirty, with radioactive emissions way in excess of what is allowed for nuclear plants and currently under heavy attack from the leftist watermelons in DC.
