It made you sound simple. BTW, Nuclear is not cheap.

But it doesn't produce greenhouse gases like driving cars, including
hybrids, does.

Actually it would be cheaper than oil or gas at todays prices IF two things
were to happen

- it wasn't so completely sutrounded with sfatey regulations that are way
in excess of what is required for any other industrial activity pro rata to
te risk to life involved
- it wasn't effectively taxed with respet to the disposal of its waste
material way above what is fair compared with other indistrial activities.

People have been very emotional about nuclear power. i've heard ministers
claiming blatint lies to be facts...

Why is there never any discussion of pebble bed reactors, currently
under development in many parts of the world, notably China?
