Agreed. Pathetic. Sorry if this is a threadjack but I really think we should resume building nuclear plants. Use that for most of our electrical generation and use fossil fuels for applications that have to have it – e.g. aviation/trucking.
In the *overall* calculation of risk/reward/danger/environmental damage, it seems to me Nuclear fares pretty well compared to other energy sources, once you get past the “oooh it’s mysterious and scary” mindset.
