What Nuclear Renaissance?
“If you listen to the rhetoric, nuclear power is back. Smashing atoms will replace burning carbon-based coal, gas and oil. In the face of a disaster movie-like future of runaway climate change--bringing drought, floods, famine and social breakdown--carbon-free nukes are cast as the deus ex machina to save us at the last minute.”

Yeah, they're making a run a nuke power again...sigh...
Even among my family members, we had a spat about this recently. Don, our science geek, was adding it to his list of alternatives to oil/coal.
I had to remind him...er..umm... LOUDLY... of the waste disposal and probably my BIGGEST problem with nuclear power, human error.
I wonder why nobody talks of hydrogen power. The Europeans are working on a hydrogen powered vehicle. It runs on water.

Anyway, the alternatives that allow freedom from the grid get shoved to the wayside pretty quick. Solar is free/clean/plentiful. Gotta have the people paying at somebody's pump, dontcha know.
Yeah, I'm a big-time Solar proponent.
Where are all the hippies?
