Haase – I want to be wrong about this.
The reality and the gravity of the situation is dire… regardless if you ‘perceive’ nuclear energy as the carbon neutral messiah or support the current ‘Nuclear Renaissance’, at the rate that current energy plants are required to be decommissioned (due to safe working lifespan) we will be shutting down more facilities in the next decade faster than we could theoretically build them.Unless we make reckless safety or epic cost choices, these plants and their ‘thirty year old radioactive waste’ will continue to plague the heart our nations energy future.
Nuclear energy questions the public needs answers for:
  1. How much viable uranium exists for the worlds demand (and what will be the cost)?
  2. How much debt is the nuclear industry in (and how heavy is it subsidized)?
  3. What is the current state of safety and environmental impact or our existing facilities and waste?
  4. How much does it cost to run, maintain and regulate this industry vs. net energy gains (after -yield costs)?
Four simple questions with hopeless answers under the current state.
Yet I sleep well every night knowing that we have the power and knowledge  to make the necessary changes and fix our nations Nuclear program… but we must start the discussion.
