New Push for Nuclear Power

Considering that many countries in Europe has a higher proportion of electricity generated from nuclear power (France is a prime example), the US lags far behind in this area. It is only now is there a push to build more nuclear power plant for power generation.

Of course, whenever you talk about nuclear energy in its present form, you'll have enviromentalists arguing against it. Any form of energy generation will have trade-offs. It is just a matter of what is acceptable and what isn't. For every "accident" you can point to with nuclear power, one can also point to France and Japan that have impecable records. So it CAN be done.

It is just a matter of to what extent one wants to do it.
