Nuclear Power Could See a Revival
shmG writes "As the US moves to reduce dependence on oil, the nuclear industry is looking to expand, with new designs making their way through the regulatory process. No less than three new configurations for nuclear power are being considered for licensing by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The first of them could be generating power in Georgia by 2016."
Quick lesson: the greens hate anything once it gets serious and any bigger than will fit on your roof.
tidal? well in the UK they're working on a big tidal generator and the greens hate it because it screws with the estuary.
Solar? still a toy but prepare for a "save the deserts" campaign.
they hate modern industry most of all, it doesn't matter if a form of power generation is clean, they hate it because it allows people to not live in mud huts communing with nature.
Greenpeace even hate nuclear fusion (in advance) because it has the word "nuclear" in it.
