"Coal is a problem.
Nuclear isn't a problem.
For twenty years, I lived close enough to a nuclear plant to see it clearly from my deck.
Two or three miles away, maybe, right by the shore.
The town got a new police station, new fire station, new library, new town hall, new community center, new water lines, new sewage system, new public school --all on taxes from the nuclear plant.
And the plant was built 100% with good union jobs.
The electric bills went up a little, but so what?
It was the folks who didn't live in the town that were bitching about that.
We were hoping that it would make the water a little warmer but it didn't.
Oh, I forgot, they paid for repairing beach erosion, too." NN #86
