[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by daveklepper</i> <br /><br />There are developments that may point to safe nuclear power generation. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I agree it's time to re-visit that option. Maybe have a group of scientists and engineers come up with some standard 'operator-proof' designs, then have the plants operated and maintained by a public/private firm supervised by the NRC and not connected with the power companies. <br /> <br />IMO too many electric utilities are relying on natural gas peaker plants, we're starting to import LNG, and people who heat with natural gas aleady know what's happening to the price. <br /> <br />For diesel, most of the power company trucks around here are running on bio-diesel. I don't know how it's energy content compares or how that would work for the railroads.
