4. Until ALL of the problems are solved, it doesn't matter.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Nuclear energy is a risky proposition because the potential for very, very long-term disaster is always present the way things stand right now.

I will continue to oppose nuclear energy unless and until ALL of these problems are permanently solved not in theory, but in practice, every day, 100% of the time -- scientifically, politically, and in every other respect.

And why bother? What's the point when there are much safer alternatives already available, moving forward rapidly, and constantly becoming more efficient, reliable, and cost effective?

So power generation becomes decentralized and the big generating companies lose out. That's what this is really about. Good. It's about time.
