You can give all the information you like, and still the anti-nuclear people aren't going to listen. It's just a fact with some people; they are so set in their ways that no matter how many facts you give them they aren't going to listen. And that wouldn't be a problem if these people didn't have all the power in this country, but sadly they do. You're not gonna get them to listen to reason in a million years, guaranteed. quote]Originally posted by up829 Overmod, I've heard that solid rocket fuel is very hard to throttle or control. Maybe it could be fed into a land-based turbine as a powder somehow. I have no idea of the economics of making the stuff. Regarding nuclear plants, the original Dresden Plants here in Illinois have been decommissioned for quite some time, but I'm not sure why. They were among the very first built and I don't think they generated anywhere near the power the newer plants do. IMHO, the Nuclear Industry needs a massive PR campaign to get going again. Standardized designs and independent operation and oversight by engineers & scientists might help the public get past "The China Syndrome". An explanation of how new materials, technologies, and operating procedures since TMI make plants safer would help too. It seems we learned a lot as a result of TMI, but too few people know about it.
