Stu-
I'd be very interested in seeing some of those peer reviewed papers "on the other side". I have a very strong suspicion that you may be referring to "journals" set up by organizations like AEI and ExxonMobil in an attempt to fool the public."
Have no fear...only "name brands" will be used to from my opinions! But like Mr. Hansen's little data rigging algorythm that he would not disclose until under intense pressure over at GISS...I don't necessarily believe everything I read from "trustworthy sources" either...some of the journals have their own biases!
I lived in Smithtown during the Shoreham debacle and agree entirely with your analysis of what happened there...which is one reason I am so down on the possibility of building a lot of nuke plants in this country. So much politics and obstructionism and Nimby's.
Your comments on re-processing fuel are VERY interesting and I think unknown to the general public and present a most hopeful possibility if it can be "sold" effectively by some enlightened political leader. (JFK said..."we will go to the moon." Who will say..."We will build safe nuclear power for complete energy independence and reduced pollution." ?? (g))
Anyway...it looks like there is a better environment for planning new nuke facilities...but given the Shoreham experience...I ain't holding my reath till they come on line. When do you think me might actually get one new one on at full power in the USA??
