People in Nevada aren't too pleased....
Nuclear certainly has some tremendous benefits. But it has some potentially catastrophic risks also. The liklihood of many of those events is very very small, but....
Other 'events' include transport accidnets and terrorism/crime gang theft of nuclear material.
The other thing to be considered is centralization of the power grid. Brown-outs and failures in the last decade have convinced many that wee need a more nodal type grid that would be similar to the Internet. Solar panels fit the bill nicely for this. Nuke plants do not.
