Nuclear power – very unpopular

That is the point that caused me (a few years ago) to change course with regards to
supporting nuclear power. Whilst in some respects I expected the US industry to be
dominated by short-sighted profit-seekers & penny-pinching anti-engineers, it took
a while for me to recognise that the same approach was in place across the world
and that your comment about "the corruption & oligarchy" is only too true.

Looking back at some of my past defence of nuclear power, I can see how I reacted in a
knee-jerk manner to the ignorance & genuinely science-free drivel of *some* of the
anti-nuclear posters and let it blind me to the accuracy of *some* of the other anti-nuclear
arguments for far too long.

Live & learn. Learn & live.
