  • "Main argument against nuclear" ?

    "The careful avoidance of the main argument against nuclear: its crippling cost and inability to attract private investment."

    Surely the main arguments are (a) safety and (b) safety of waste storage. After this comes cost, etc. Isn't this why environmentalists have always been against nuclear??

    I agree that the economics are bad, especially when the cost of storing the waste for thousands of years is factored in, but surely this must rank second after public safety?

    (Also, personally I don't favor private investment for public services.)
