[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 508261, member: 1780"] The only reason you don't already see more nuclear plants, is due to how much it costs to build them! There are so many features that have to be built into a nuclear facility, that the others do not require. The big ass cooling towers, HUGE super thick walls encompassing all the dangerous parts of the facility like the reactors, all sorts of back up systems, dead pools to safely house the spent nuclear fuel rods, a security force wielding AR-15's with a check station that is tighter than any airport security in the country - it's all heavily regulated by OSHA, probably moreso than any other form of business in the country. These regulations are what will keep something like the Fukushima (sp?) meltdown from happening in the US. Instead of just having one backup system for different things, there's backup systems for the backup systems! Preparation for the worst. Lots of folks shun nuclear energy that are pro-coal fired plants, but most all who shun nuclear energy are also not educated about it. [/QUOTE]
