Good concept. Problem is convincing these anti-nuclear people that it is safe. And that is going to be impossible. No matter what you tell these people, they aren't going to listen. Safety hearing alone for the plants can take a few years, and that was back in the 70's. It's 10 times worse now. Even if the ruling comes out in favor of the plant, those anti-nuclear people, as long as they have enough support, can challenge the ruling in court. And even if that one comes out in favor of the plant again, they can just challenge it again, and keep challenging it until the plant gets denied. And even if the plant does eventually get its license, these challenges could get dragged through the courts for years, costing both the utility and us money. This is all thanks to the stupid way our legal system is set up. Unless this changes real quick, we won't be seeing any new nuclear power plants any time soon. And unfortunately, its going to get worse before it gets better. Politics kills way too many good concepts nowadays.
