The Nuclear Power Renaissance

Actual Reality writes "It is ironic to me that much of the same sentiment that thwarted the nuclear power industry back in the 80's is partially responsible for reviving it. Nuclear power is very clean compared to any power source that burns fuel. The US has missed several advancements in nuclear technology. We can only hope that environmental concerns will not again stifle our progress."

First of all, nothing offends like the truth.

Unless the vast majority of those here are trust fund recipients who care nothing about the value of labor (i.e. scorned as something beneath them), raising taxes on consumption of carbon based fuels eventually is going to make goods and services more costly for all, even those that appeal to trust fund recipients. If the economy is ill-affected to the degree that the income that these trusts pay are affected, said individuals will have their desires bite them in the arse.

The tragedy is not that some think themselves as better than the rest. The tragedy is that the same laws protect them as well as the rest.
