#1 The NIMBYs and the trial lawyers are still in position to block any such renaissance.

#2 Anyone have any idea how many people have died from nuclear accidents? How does this compare to those from mining coal and drilling for oil? Seems to me that every other week there is a coal mining accident somewhere. A couple weeks ago 17 people died in a helicopter flight from an oil rig off Newfoundland. I suspect that 100's of times more have died collecting fossil fuels than from nuclear accidents....

#3 Chemist,
American or foreign accidents? The American total is zero. The Russians have an "Inshallah" attitude toward job safety -and a casualty list to match.

#4 I'll bet more people have died minimg coal than mining uranium than in nuclear accidents. Way more when you look at it on a deaths per 100,000 kwh basis.
