Fukushima Meltdown Driving Increased Abnormalities Among US Infants

190. I thought the caviar phrasing was apt.

There is a reason cost is always listed first among the 4 intractable problems facing nuclear. It is as expensive as hell. While it is true that several countries get significant amounts of power from nuclear, that fact in isolation does little to support your view and I fail to see why you are raising it in this context.

The French are more opposed to nuclear power than the US.

The Japanese have an economic mountain on their backs that is built on over-reliance on nuclear power.

Even though they are largely paid off, plants in the US are facing economic pressure from not only cheap natural gas prices but from loss of market share to renewables. Many of them are facing pressure to close.

The idea of building new nuclear stares into a future of even greater competition as renewables continue their price declines.
