So far all you have accomplished is to illustrate you're clueless.

Before you expound on your great wisdom and understanding, you should engage your mind in some research before engaging your mouth.

The mistakes the US made in nuclear power plant construction were all made in the 50's and 60's. Most of the mistakes were made long before any environmentalists tried to stop any nuclear power plant construction.

If any of this is unfamiliar to you, try some study and research.
Works every time.

France isn't perfect, far from it. But they have, like many countries, managed to do some things extraordinarily well. We can learn from them, just as they can learn from us.
Far from it oh great wise and all-knowing one. The nuclear industry in the US suffered greatly from the Three Mile island release, as since then virtually no permits have been granted for nuc power generation. Since I was once interested in this technology and studied it, and still know individuals in the business of trying to not only get new plants permitted, but maintain the permits of current plants, I guess I don't know much because I don't agree with you. (Just an aside, my sister the person who testifies etc, is as leftie as they come, and freely decries those of her own political persuasion on this issue).

Oh, forgot to add, that I am licensed to use radioactive materials as well, and part of my education includes regulatory issues and historical perspectives. Jes sayin.

Ad hominem, grow up. BTW do you ever have a purely informational/opinion post that doesn't use an ad hominem attack?
