It just makes me very angry that Chernobyl and Three Mile Island occurred, and the public was whipped into such an ignorantly self-destructive fervor to lobby against nuclear power and make it so expensive to develop. We've lost a good fifty years of additional experience and improvements and iterations on design, and meanwhile we have burned billions of tons of coal in the interim, releasing pollution and exhaust particles that contain more radioactive material than all the nuclear accidents ever, and even all the military atomic munitions testing. Such a pyrrhic victory for the environmentalists, and a catastrophic disaster for the rest of us.
