+1. Thank you.
For those who make comments like nuclear plants are inherently unsafe, that we'll all be glowing, etc., you need to read this book.
As someone mentioned above, there are no "no-cost" ways to generate the amount of power we use in this country. Burning fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases, wind and solar farms take a tremendous amount of land to produce a usable amount of electricity, and obviously there are storage issues to work out with nuclear. But to say that we will only accept a solution that has no costs - well, you're going to have to wait awhile.
