… my estimation both parties are about equally to blame for the United States lack of a coherent energy policy.

Is nuclear energy completely safe? Certainly not but how many people have been killed by it in the US or even France compared to coal or electricity? Since the rich don’t die in coal mining accidents, the elites and yuppies don’t care about the direct deaths from those energy sources. The benefits of nuclear power — given the currently available alternative solutions — is well worth the very minimal risks since it’s not like the energy sources that we are relying upon the most right now are truly safe. The goal of the US should be to catch up to and then surpass …

‘Powerful’ is a term that we need to examine. Nuclear energy can produce a huge amount of power out of one facility. Comparatively, wind and solar do need to be distributed over a larger area. It is important to note that the land that a wind farm is on can be used for other things such as agriculture. These are facts, but they are not the whole picture.

Safety. Nuclear power is the most heavily regulated industry in the world, but safety concerns do persist, for good reason! Nuclear technology can be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. It is in the interests of people everywhere to make sure that it is used conscientiously. …

If Christine Todd Whitman were really serious about promoting jobs in the energy industry, she would be talking about wind and other renewable energy resources, not nuclear power. Her July 9 op-ed, co-written with Florida State Rep. Juan C. Zapata, overstated the benefits of nuclear power and mentioned none of its drawbacks.

Whitman claims that constructing new nuclear plants has the potential to create “as many as 70,000 jobs,” but how long would that take? According to Whitman’s own figures, building one new reactor would produce as many as 2,400 construction jobs, and, once built, would employ 800 workers. To generate those 70,000 jobs — 75 …

This is not a good time to be looking to invest in nuclear energy in South Africa. Eskom, the major utility that would buy them, backed out of a multi-reactor tender a few years ago because it lacked the money to pay for them.

Since then, with the global economic slowdown, things have not improved much. Investments are not forthcoming from international lending banks.

Worse for Eskom, its grand plant to populate …
