Roger, if nuclear reactors are such agood deal, why won't investors build them without the government (us) limiting their liability ($$). They have an accident, we (the injured) are limited in our claims. They have waste that needs to be secured for 20,000 years, we, the taxpayer, picks up the cost. It's the same ol', same ol', privatize the profits and socialize the costs.

Now if you can just hunker-down for the next 30 years, we will probably have cheap, clean, fusion generated power and not be on the hook storing nuclear waste for the next 20K years.

Turn off that unused light. Conservation isn't so hard. You can do it.
