I was a huge fan of nuclear power, until I heard a plan to build one 50 km from my home.

  Why? A perfectly good nuclear power plant was less than 60km from New York City, and provided 2 GW of electricity. It bothers me a lot that it was shut down . It was replaced with natural gas power plants.

    High voltage DC power line can transfer electricity over long distances with little loss. So it is preferable to build a nuclear power station far away from densely populated area. The proposed plan near my home was close to a lake, as compared to near a running river or sea. That raised more concerns. Thankfully it stayed as plan and had been forgotten. I googled and could not find it. My home is safe now. But I still think nuclear power in its current state is not a responsible option. The spent fuel remains dangerous after hundreds or thousands years.
