I worked in hydro, fossil, nuclear and CT power plants for a large power company for 24 years and the what it comes down to is that there are very few rivers left that would be *practical* to turn into a new hydo plant. There's almost as much paperwork and regulations in a hydro plant as there is in a nuke. Remember the dams they are removing to allow the fish to pass through? Those sites could have been repowered but the regulations make it too costly to bother. Nuclear power is the best way to go and is safer than the gas station down at the corner. I don't know why they've never had an ad campain but for openers, there's nothing in a comercial US nuke that can explode. No wepons grade plutonium is created IN THE US except in the government owned and operated reactors. It'll be interesting when they succede in shutting down those nasty, dirty fossil plants - that'll be about 85% of the US generation capicity shot to h*ll and we'll all be freezing in the dark with no where left to work....but the politicians and environmentalist will be happy...
