Re:It's not Nuke's fault! (Score 1)

LoL, no apology necessary. Pretty standard backup. Nuke plants ARE the future, and IRAN sees it - why build nuke plants when you have all that oil? Cuz it is not only a fossil fuel, it is also the basis of our lives: Plastics, medicines, building materials, you name it. Oil is becoming less and less a form of power, and more and more a need to our way of life. Sadly, the US public's irrational fear of nuclear power, and the industry's failure to rationally educate and publicize it, led to it's demise. I was to be an Assistant Project Manager for TVA's 3-unit Cheerokee project, but it was cancelled, deep-sixed along with the crash of nuke power in the 70's. Ironically, I am now retired, and moved from Florida to Tennesse within a few miles of Cherokee Dam, the proposed site. Now, Nuclear is undergoing a resurgence in the US. The sorry point is that we, the country that led in technology and development of nuclear power, will now have to buy back the technology we developed, and abandoned. Thanks for the reply. What plant/company are you with? Don James
