I believe that in our zeal to prevent nuclear war we made the mistake of lumping nuclear energy in with nuclear weapons as if all things nuclear are evil. Nuclear energy, like nuclear medicine, is a beneficial use of nuclear technology. There would be a lot fewer coal and gas plants and a lot more nuclear plants today if we had not made this mistake.</p> I fully agree with Vinod”s assessment that one of the environmental movement’s big mistakes was the opposition to nuclear energy.

Ha! That’s hilarious! Where did Earth2Tech find this guy? Just because he has a lot of money doesn’t mean he should be given a platform for bull____.

Almost every new power plant built in the U.S. in the last 20 years has been natural gas, and that’s pretty common knowledge. Number two? Wind power. You can look it up.

Remind me to tell my broker not to let any money slip into Vinod’s hands – he clearly has no clue what he’s talking about.
