maybe it would be better to build new nuke plants far away from
population centers and just accept the hit on transmission losses?

Why,when there's never been any real problem with US nuke plants?

this way a unforseen accident takes out a rural area, rather than
downtown new york?

this compromiise would probably make everyone reasonably content. nuke
power industry gets to grow and make boatloads of money, away from
most people centers.

How far would make you *feel better*?
("reasonably content";define "reasonable")


hey why not put the plants in mexico? far away from the us border?

and yet you worry about nuke security at US plants.....

it would provide jobs for mexicans,

Its not the US job or responsibility to provide jobs for Mexicans.
Let MEXICO worry about Mexicans.

lessening their desire to
immigrate here, still provide the power needed, perhaps use supercold
transmission lines to reduce line losses? and a accident although
still terrible wouldnt effect our country so bad.............


With all the reactors operating in all the countries of the world,and only
ONE bad accident in RUSSIA,and you worry about uncontained disasters;
that sounds like an *unreasonable* fear to me.

Have you researched "pebble-bed" reactors yet? Inherently safe.
