I...Thanks for the plug and the accurate summary! I'd like to add, I'm pro-all low carbon technology, with qualifiers: reliability, scalability, cost/annual output, plant lifetime and ease of siting. Obviously, nuclear is good to excellent in all of these. I have no financial connection with the industry, but the manufacturing in which I am employed would not survive if we were forced to rely entirely on intermittent renewables for electricity. The potential for intrinsic interrupted production would be unsustainable. This is a crucial factor ignored by advocates, especially those who dismiss baseload as unnecessary or a myth. At the same time, I recognise renewable energy as a legitimate industry, and it should be considered wherever it actually makes sense. Unfortunately, it is dangerously oversold - just like the perceived risks of modern nuclear power.actinideagehttp://actinideage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-85381421605631245152014-09-02T21:18:28.770-04:002014-09-02T21:18:28.770-04:00Thank you Meredith for the kind words.
