re: #129 Teukka

Nuclear power is an option, but you have to be OCD on safety protocol and rotate staff regularly around tasks and facilities to avoid them getting too relaxed around the dragon, because in the instant you lose respect for the dragon… It bites. HARD.

And what are the odds that a future regulatory regime will be strong enough to keep management from cutting corners? You know how they are. Just look to PG&E getting slipshod on transmission line maintenance. More than 100 deaths, millions of acres and tens of thousands of buildings turned to ashes, but at least people can go back in and rebuild and replant. Somebody gets clumsy or lazy at a nuclear facility, that won’t be the case.
