We need new electrical generation capacity in the US, both to replace units that should be retired, and to increase supply to satisfy increased demand. It is encumbent upon us to undertake a thorough scientific analysis of all the options open to us, and select the option that is most environmentally sustainable. Having read most of recent scientific documents and opinions published by NEI, WANO, IAEA and UNSCEAR, as well as some of the opinion pieces published elsewhere, I believe that for the few years that option is nuclear. In fifty years time, a different option may be the answer, but we have to deal with what we know here and now.Matthew66https://www.blogger.com/profile/14300778464353560180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-1119561220985116102005-06-23T17:13:00.000-04:002005-06-23T17:13:00.000-04:00Traditional environmentalists live in an idealist ...Traditional environmentalists live in an idealist world. It is a world that would not work for most Americans. If they do not accept the logic of nuclear power in a climate changing world, they will have to be dismissed. Americans need more electricity with less emissions 24/7. History will note that the mainstream green movement missed the boat on this one.<BR/><BR/>The African American Environmentalist Association is proud to stand up and shout from the mountaintops that, "we were the first environmental group to get it right on this one." We are like a nuclear power plant -- small but powerful.Norris McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564345494443383507noreply@blogger.com
