The "danger" of nuclear power in America is more one of public opinion than actual risk. As I said, other nations like France generate the majority of their power from nuclear reactors, have been doing so for decades, and have been doing so without incident.
Iirc wasn't France having an issue with where to store the waste and wasn't there a fairly recent investigation into nuclear waste management companies (mafia owned?) after
one? was found to be taking the waste by boat/ship and then sinking it?
By 2020 France is expected to need to dispose of 1.9 million cubic meters annually.
I am conflicted about the 'nuclear' issue. On the one hand it seems that in order to combat global warming, nuclear is the most reliable, as far as energy production is concerned. On the other hand, producing 76% of our electricity using Nuclear power, as France does, is fraught with problems for the long term storage of nuclear waste if not the resource limit problem of extracting enough of the uranium to supply such a large demand. In any case, I personally feel that we as a society need to learn to conserve to a much larger degree than we do presently or it will be forced upon humanity regardless.
