The Effect of TMI on the Electric Grid Or: How We Didn't Learn to Love Nuclear

- PaulHoule 2y agoI'd point to Seabrook One (and the missing Two) for why we didn't keep building nuclear reactors as opposed to TMI. That is, trying to build a nuclear reactor reliably causes a financial meltdown. It doesn't matter whether or not the public is accepting of it if investors think it too expensive and too risky to build.
- Terr_ 2y agoI've seen people claim we that nuclear waste is somehow solved... I'll believe it when Hanford [0] isn't leaking anymore and/or we've solved the Not Near My Highways problem of transporting it to a better location.
