well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:


No different in many respects than folks not wanting a nuke power
plant down the street.

Trust me, you don't want one. We have one, here, and besides (with
current technology) being a dirty source of energy, it is just plain
expensive.

What's dirty about it, besides fuel disposal?
(Wyoming might be a good repository of spent fuel.)
Is it releasing as much radiation as a coal-fired plant?
I've read coal is anywhere from 3 to 100 times worse than nuke plants
in releasing radiation to the atmosphere.
