I don't suppose they would take ours off our hands. |

Nuclear power is our ultimate source, but we still have to work out the bugs. Coastal nuke plants which are NOT on high hills can be problematic, as seen in Japan. Nuclear power is, and should be, here to stay. Well, at least until we figure out how to harness cold fusion or other nice sources. Here in the USA, we should be building plants which recycle their fuel rods so the waste product is considerably reduced. -- Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself. -- Thomas Jefferson |

If Carter had kept his ass out of it we would not even have a 10th of the waste material we have now. But since he signed the order eliminating reprocessing fuel we're screwed until we get a pro-nuke person and congress. Which won't happen. Japan is planning new units and the last I had heard they were planning on at least two reprocessing units as well. Solar and wind are both far too expensive and undependable. -- Steve W. |

I don't suppose they would take ours off our hands. Oh they have plenty BUT the media there isn't powered by leftists and they actually post facts and news instead of opinions and fables like most US news does. When someone speaks out with a bunch of crap in Japan they get called on the carpet for it by the people. If you want to see how the anti-nuke people speak out in Japan it's real easy, Just look at the themes in Godjira type movies. -- Steve W. |

Nuclear power is our ultimate source, but we still have to work out the bugs. That isn't true (needing to work out bugs.) The only issues are siting, and assignment of liability in the event of disaster. The technical details of nuclear power plant operation are well understood. Coastal nuke plants which are NOT on high hills can be problematic, as seen in Japan. Nuclear power is, and should be, here to stay.
