Not until we get over our hang-ups over nuclear energy will we have any
chance of kicking our oil habit, and we have to make a lot of big
improvements in nuclear energy first as well. Sort of hard since with
every passing year, society gets even more anti-nuclear power.
I don't worry too much about this.
For the moment, the anti-nuke crowd controls the dialogue, simply because
there is no compelling reason to adapt nuclear energy. For 95% of the
population, the energy debate is a non-starter, and totally off of their
radar screens, because energy is cheap and plentiful.
Just wait until their lights and air conditioners start clicking off, one by
one, however. THEN you will see how truly weak the anti-nuclear crowd is --
and nuclear power plants will start popping up all over the planet once
again.
