Nuclear Energy

“If we’re going to start shoveling a lot of money at nuclear, and nuclear is part of America’s plan to get less oil-dependent, then we need to build it ourselves,” Thomas M. Conway, vice president for the United Steelworkers union said in a statement.

Nuclear energy isn't the only option, and it is certainly not the least expensive; but embracing a nuclear future may be inevitable and necessary. No solution is perfect, and nuclear power has its own particular risks, but the time has come to stop the malaise and give serious consideration to a nuclear future.
