Is this the end of the line for an American nuclear energy program?

Asked by josie (30934points) March 14th, 2011

An American nuclear accident in the 70’s gave the Cassandra’s on the left the political ammunition to crush development of a domestic nuke program.

Only recently did they begin to reconsider nuclear as an alternative to the much despised coal and oil.

Is the Japanese problem with their earthquake damaged reactors going to cause a new wave of hysteria? After all, a European official just proclaimed that the earthquake was caused by global warming. I figure the green crowd must be getting pretty excited about deploying their own political nuke in the war over state sponsored environmentalism.
