a different kind of nuke
It has been a while since I read it, but I can recommend John McPhee's book "The Curve of Binding Energy" where he discusses questions about nuclear energy with Theodore B. Taylor, a nuclear scientist who is not at all pleased with how nuke energy has been handled by the government.
As I remember, he suggests we go to smaller, local plants (for which there are numerous safe designs) to limit the cost of transporting this energy across vast expanses of expensive power lines. And he does address waste storage issues.
Nuclear energy does not have to be a monolithic embodiment of evil; that's already taken by Bush.On Nuclear power is too risky posted 2 years, 6 months ago 12 Responses
