There hasn't been a new nuclear plant in the US in over 30 years.

Why not?

Envirofreaks.


In the 1970s, Long Island Lighting Company began construction of a nuclear
power plant in Shoreham. They claimed that if there was a meltdown, there
really wouldn't be a problem evacuating anyone who was at risk. They
purchased a number of local officials to make sure all the reviews & permits
went smoothly. At the time, the Long Island Expressway was one long traffic
jam for almost its entire length, even in the middle of the night. Opponents
of the plan pointed out that evacuation would be impossible. The project's
paid supporters (who were later shamed out of office) said that boats would
be one solution.

To make a long story short, the project was halted, never to be touched
again. Would you say its opponents were freaks? Take a good look at a map of
Long Island before you respond:

Where was the reactor that spewed radiation back in 1978/1979??
