We have very anti nuclear sentiments in this country because of green nuts, ignorant politicians, and NIMBYs.

Anything related to radiation/nuclear/uranium/ sends warning bells off in these fools heads.

What they fail to realize is coal, fossil fuels, and other conventional energy sources release incredible amounts of pollution into the air. Green energy sources aren't ready to be able to run our energy grid at the same consistency that nuclear, coal,etc will run it. When the wind and sun disappear we're cold and powerless.

All of the nuclear reactors we have in this country are designed to process weapons grade fuel. Highly radioactive waste can still be used as fuel!

Nuclear is our answer to solve our energy solutions now. Unfortunately, industry interests and pure ignorance leave us with solutions that are far less safe.
