How about a Swedish phase-out?  We don't have any experience yet with a

German phase out.  But we do have many years of experience with the Swedish

phase-out of nuclear power.  The Swedes voted to phase-out nuclear power in

1980.  Nuclear power was to be replaced with other, cleaner alternative

sources of electricity.  They have been working on it now for 20 years.

Sweden is a good example because it is a technically advanced society.

Also, with a solidily socialist economic system, the Swedes don't have to

worry about being controlled by evil capitalists who conspire to suppress

all the great new earth-friendly energy technologies.  In addition, Sweden

has substantial hydro-electric and tidal energy resources.



In Sweden today, they are making more electricity with nuclear power than

they were in 1980.  If the US were to match the Swedish phase-out in terms

of percentage of nuclear-generated electricity today, we would have to build

about 100 new nuclear power plants.



Of course, replacing nuclear power with alternative energy would do nothing

to improve people's health because such an action would result in more

electricity being generated by coal and natural gas.  Those methods combined

kill thousands of Americans each year while increasing background radiation

levels and spreading toxic waste.
