Should atomic energy be part of the Obama plan?
A coalition of environmentalists state that nuclear power has no place in the economic stimulous bill. However, in Obama's bill much will be spent on nuclear power.
Some of the main arguments such energy include that (1) no new reactor could go online for over a decade and (2) they often have cost over runs. Moreover, (3) waste is still a problem and (4) and reusing after reprocessing nuclear waste is still a pie-in-the sky dangerous technology.
On the other hand, those for other alternative energy powerplants being more supported the stimulus bill include: (1) the wind, tidal, solar and other new technologies don't cause nuclear fallout if attacked by terrorists or an accident, (2) essentially only socialist countries, like France, can hide the overall costs of nuclear production, i.e. cost overruns--and Americans don't want to have socialist owned energy firms and nuclear fall-out damage insurance.
Check out the rambunction debate on this website on the topic by a former Greenpeace member turned nuclear lobbyist and an environmental journalist.
