Sounds like the overseas blinds are advising the local blind ones.

Not surprised at all. That much for the posters that want overseas "experts" to take over here.

Just one more example of why nuclear energy is "cheap". And please, don't forget who is the real culprit: those who want the lowest electricity bills yet are unable to control their government. Wherever you look, it's the same pattern. Idiocy is the foremost characteristic of mankind, isn't it?

We need more journalists like Jeff Donn looking into all aspects of nuclear power. It seems like there are too many journalists, who just repeat the talking points of the nuclear industry. These plants are too old, they should be phased out! And before building new ones (like the UK seems to be intending) think again. It's hard to find another industry as heavily subsidized as the nuclear industry. If we put the money into developing renewables, microenergy, energy saving, smart grid etc. you get more CO2 reduction than with nuclear and you get it much faster!
