The article cites three objections: safety, waste storage, and cost. I think you're only right about safety being less of a concern with modern designs.
- abritinthebay 9y agoWaste storage is much much less of a problem in many newer designs (not least because they produce less waste and often can reuse their waste) and power-plants are just plain expensive anyhow (renewables are still expensive per-watt and take a lot more land area). Unless we spend all that money on solar panels for peoples homes (and so start talking about distributed power system) it's always expensive to start a power plant.
