re: #516 OldLineTexan

The many true-believers I know generally have a knee-jerk negative reaction to nuclear. I can usually talk them down from their “Silkwood” flights of hysteria and get them to acknowledge the great economic/environmental boon a revamped nuclear industry would be for our country.
Even with the ones who eventually agree with me, I can guarantee that if someone wanted to build one anywhere near them, they’d fold like cheap tents and oppose it. Nuclear isn’t a realistic option until the decades of fear-mongering and reflexive environmental obstructionism have been reversed.
