#1 The future requires nuclear power in pretty much every country. We need to have international agreement as to what constitues a safe nuclear power plant, meaning one that can't be used to build bombs. There should be international inspections as well. That said, I think this is a necssary move on Iraq's part. It's too bad Carter killed the nuclear industry, or American firms could compete for this business better.

#2 Carter tried to kill it. Reagan started to revive it, then Clinton/Gore drove the stake through its heart.

See "Smarter Use of Nuclear Waste", and article in December 2005 Scientific American. Google for it and you can find it in PDF form in a few places on the net.
