Neil,

Sounds like a conspiracy.  Of course, since there are no proofs to your

statements, it must be a conspiracy.

Well put and on target of course.  Much as the news anchors are merely the 

"smiling heads" of the news telecast, those taking an organized position 

against commercial nuclear power could be considered to be simply the 

"concerned" individuals or groups   representing a group that could stand to



lose should nuclear power prosper as an energy source.  The sad thing is

that 

many "concerned" individuals aren't even aware they're being duped or

they're 

being specifically targeted because their's is a "reactive platform" for 

issuing false data.

. . .

So the answer to your question is the same as the answer to why we don't

have 

a pesty corn weed taking over the planet now.  It would sort of turn 

civilization as we know it on it's head.  Abundant fuel, abundant food... 

What leverage could governments use on so-called third world countries that 

suddenly don't need "economic assistance"?  What would Wall Street do

without 

fossil fuel futures? How would politicians get elected without PAC money

from 

fossil? What would the auto parts industry do in the absence of current 

obsolescence schedules?  Just how cheap would a barrel of oil go for?  And 

gee.  Why would we need to interact with OPEC?



We so-called civilized beings spend the bulk of our time trying to survive

by 

driving or riding great distances to a job that we work to pay for the 

production of goods and services that have their prices established by their



production and profit margin costs.  What if that cost were reduced by 80 

percent due to reduced energy costs?
