Nuclear energy is clean, cheep and gives great amounts of energy. The supplies of uranium or thorium that is needed in the plants won't be exhausted for a very long time, unlike oil. With the best kinds of power plants, the supplies of uranium and thorium could last for billions of years.
So go ahead and throw up new nuclear power plants! Just make sure they have a shell of concrete around their reactor. We don't want risking another Chernobyl, do we?

One problem there - liberals are now against nuclear power plants. New Jersey itself has two Nuclear Power Plants - there is one right across the border in NY State. In California they want all nuclear power plants closed - they're now fighting to have Indian nulcear power plant closed in NY. Thye seem to want us to just live in the dark ages I think.

I support nuclear - until something better comes along. The only problem is the nuclear waste it generates - not to mention if it has a meltdown.

My 1100th post. In binary numbers, that means 12. Take 12 times 2 and you get 24, which is today's date

I like it.
