And the reason why I don't think anything really ever *will*
be done (until possibly a catastrophe occurs of course) is
because we are a nation of factions with little cohesion. Our
leaders are a bunch of old farts, out of touch with reality,
obsessed with politcal correctness and willing to sell their
souls to get re-elected.

No, the reason why nothing will be done is that those who could do
something about any given problem actually benefit by the existence of
that problem. They benefit by actions that prolong the problem while
offering noises about a solution.

As for nuclear power, I am more concerned about the results of
ineptitude. Make a mistake with coal and it's unfortunate. Make a
mistake with uranium and it's tragic. And ineptitude can include both
technical, design, security, and logic.
