That would be why I’m rather hard on the critics of developing nuclear energy, those that also oppose the rest of the alternatives in so many instances. I think the only one not beset by critics and skeptics might be geothermal. But Yosemite seems a hell of a place for a power plant.

With respect to nuclear energy, I have conflicted views. I think the technical problems can be addressed in ways that make nuclear competitive with the other options.

However, I remain deeply skeptical of the human side of things. Running a nuclear power plant is years of boring routine, with the possibility that a crisis may arise that requires an A-team to be on the spot. Staffing for that is difficult and may be impossible.
