Bingo, glad somebody said it. It's the whole NIMBY mentality that causes power problems here in the US - as well as preventing cell towers from going up. Ignorance causes NIMBY-ism, so to speak.

Stat-wise, nuclear power is even safer than coal power plants, if you look at the deaths per megawatt (or some type of measurement).

Properly designed and built nuclear power plants are extremely reliable and have emergency system after emergency system, as well as multiple failsafes that basically make a serious accident just about impossible.

Remember 3 mile island? What happened there - that's right, it fixed itself. Please read that again - fixed itself.
