[/quote]</p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">What was the actual, practical impediment that stopped the nuclear power industry from moving in the first place? It must have been something more substantial than just public perception of danger. Has that impediment been removed now in the interest of producing power without releasing CO2? Is the political force behind the elimination of CO2 willing to embrace nuclear energy as an alternative to coal generation? I suspect not. The only remedy I hear from them is the reduction of consumption even if it has to be accomplished by consumption taxes that raise the price. </font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">Can nuclear be green? </font></p><p> </p>
