Say No To No-Nukers
A friend wrote, “Please read some of this and share it with everybody… this is important: http://www.nuclearreader.info/ ”
“It is clear by now that nuclear power is not economically viable.”
“Wall Street has refused to finance nuclear power for more than 30 years, rendering new construction impossible.”
Our response, “Sorry, this is not good information.”
The friend asks, “Why?”
Our response, “The website twists facts into lies.
Nuclear energy is quite economically viable… the problem is that consumers are misinformed by sites like nuclearreader.info.
The reason no new plants have been built is because investors’ fear of regulations. Protests and years of public meetings make nuclear plants so that they are not economically viable.
After all, humans have been using the biggest nuclear plant for energy since the beginning of time — the sun.
True the sun kills many people every year; however, eliminating the sun would be a mistake.”
PS. Nuclear energy is probably the hope to help stabilize human induced climate change.,
