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

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.

Jay, you are mixing up your first paragraph with your second one.

Energy is cheap in your country (and widely available). There are many
regions on this planet where energy is either hardly available or expensive
(or both) or there are enough alternatives to nuclear power. Others are
very good in preserving and saving energy (without losing much comfort).

What might be a working solution for one geographic area might not be
useful for another one.
