[ RadSafe ] Overcoming America's nuclear power phobia

[John Jacobus]

Do you think that a utility would not build any plant
because of anti-nuclear protest?  If the protesters
are so powerful, why is the government encouraging
industry to build nuclear power plants?  Then Bush's
promotion is a waste of time and money, don't you
agree?  I suggest you write your representatives to
not waste your tax money in promoting nuclear power.

So the utilites spends twice as much money building a
plant.  They will recoup their losses.  Have any lost
money on an operating nuclear power plant?
