[ExI] THE END for nuclear power

[spike]

Regardless of whether this story is accurate, I would suggest it represent
the end of the road for new nuclear plants.  Any time a new nuke plant of
any kind anywhere comes up for a building permit, the proletariat will think
"radiation in tap water.  There is no escape."

The perception of danger in nuke power has always been its weakest point.
Japan's experience has made that problem three orders of magnitude worse.

 

I can imagine the populace suddenly warming to the option of global warming.
