For now, I think we might just take advantage of the coal shortage on the market and rake in the money.

At this stage...

It actually is ideal. New reactor designs produce practically no waste and are incredibly safe.

Here's a question for you.

What is responsible for more deaths.
The radiation from the Fukushima disaster, or Alec Baldwin?

I've heard all the arguments, for and against. If anyone comes up with a new one, I'll listen. The usual suspects will not.

What is the equivalent in those windmills and solar panels for that much reliable electricity?

A huge benefit with nuclear power is it runs flat out for fuel cycle you can't throttle it back which means you get cheap off peak power to encourage people to use it.

People will be using off peak power to recharge vehicles at night when the wind doesn't blow and solar is useless.

People can use electric heating/air con at night instead of buring gas to stay warm.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Nonsense - the control rods are put part way in to slow the reaction down - that also uses less fuel.
