New Nuclear power plants

[jeaton]

While nuclear power plants may have safety issues, the public perception of the danger is is way out of line with the actual risk. I am not an expert on this, but my guess is that the use of fossil fuels has a farther greater impact on human health and life than nuclear power generation.

I may be wrong on that point, but I know that if I can't get a supply of natural gas to take me through a Wisconsin winter, I and millions of people are going to be in a world of hurt. One might assume that concurrently, there will not be enough gasoline to get in a car and drive to a warmer climate. That is if one even wanted to put up with the others also trying to make such a migration.

Just reading an article in the papaere about three new Nuclear power plants proposed. People are sooner or later going to have to realize that Nuclear power plants are the wave of the future and the railroads should be lookin at electrifying there heavily traeled lines and Nuclear power is a cheap source of power. Since Three Mile Island their have been many additional safeguards put in place and their have been no additional accidents. With natural gas increasing in costs this leaves the Hydroelectric and Coal fired generating stations as the only other sources for electricity. It is definitly time to revisit Nuclear power and it is reaching a point where the railroads need to look at electrifying there heavy mainlines to save the fossil fuels for cars and home heating. There is a lot of opposition to Nuclear power plants but many will change their minds when gasoline is $7.00 or $8.00 a gallon.
