I try really, really hard not to voice opinion on IIS. There is nothing sensible in nuclear energy.

I understand the baseload problems. But I will never support a power source that will condemn countless generations of MY children to the madness of looking after the waste. This includes the decommisioned reactors, contaminated power sites, ground water, etc. There is nothing smart about it. Medical and scientific applications is as far as I go.

I am in a situation with my business that EVERY aspect of what I produce involves power. Lots of it. Yet I cannot pass on these costs to my clients.

Nuclear will not see a reduction in power costs. Even if we did have nuclear from the year dot, the price hike would have still happened. Yet everyone still wants their big TVs, central heating, airconditioning, every type of power hungry gizzmo. Somethings got to give. Yes, we need options, but not madness.
