Let's Have Some Love for Nuclear Power

In the U.S. at present, 104 nuclear plants generate about 21% of our electric power. Last November, NRG Energy, of Princeton, N.J., became the first company to file for a license to build a new nuclear plant since the 1970s. Almost a dozen more applications have now also been filed.
While we may be at a turning point, one enormous question still hangs over this revival of nuclear power in the U.S.: Who is going to pay for it?

It's clean and green but environmentalists will bring up Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and The China Syndrome over and over.
