Environmentalists Admit Being Wrong for 40 Years over Nuclear Power

    Interesting article about how Environmentalists are now saying Nuclear is okay:

    After 40 years of bitter opposition Environmentalists concede that Nuclear Power is essential to avert further harm from Global Warming. The Nuclear Industry has felt itself vilified, constrained and damaged by the ceaseless and sometimes pathological opposition of the environmental movement, this changing attitude is manna from on high.

    Although very little happened, Nov. 24 was a red letter day for the nation's nuclear power industry. No new nuclear reactors were purchased, no breakthrough in treating nuclear waste was announced, and the Obama administration did not declare that it would pay for new reactors.

    Instead, the source of the industry's happiness was The Washington Post leading Page One with an article that detailed how the environmental movement, after 40 years of opposition, now concedes that nuclear power will play a role in averting further harm from global warming.

    Nuclear power is good, but it will not be our future. Their are other technologies being developed that will replace it.
