Nuclear Power is a great option. I find it tragically hilarious that so many people are opposed to nuclear power when coal fired power plants kill 30-50,000 people every year in the northeast alone due to particulate emissions that cause cancer and a host of other health problems. They just got their asses sued of and lost on this basis. The power plants in ohio have to now pay the states of New York, New Jersey, and I think Pennsylvania as a result, to compensate for the cost of treating these people. Maybe I'm comfortable with it because I've actually toured parts of the Hanford Site. My dad worked there at the nuclear lab in the early 90's. Its essentially impossible for a chernobyl to happen the way US reactors are built. The Soviets were always compromising on safety, as the inefficiencies of their total command economy practiacally mandated it, or they'd never be able to keep up with western military spending, and as it turns out they still couldn't.
