I always assumed that "tapping the power of the atom" involved, well, something really scientific and cool. Instead, turns out we just use radioactive material to heat up water, so we can turn steam turbines.<br /><br />In fact, it's not only the most expensive way to boil water, it's pretty much the most expensive way to generate electricity, too. Our country's energy policy preserves the use of oil because it's [still relatively] cheap, and encourages the use of nuclear power despite the fact it's not.<br /><br />Environmental questions aside, that makes zero business sense, unless somebody's getting paid where I can't see it. Surely there are less expensive alternatives to nuclear power?TPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264842579175313715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859894191147478362.post-88619675943064556142011-05-10T12:05:04.997-04:002011-05-10T12:05:04.997-04:00BTW,,, NY DEC Regional Director Janeway AGREES wit...BTW,,, NY DEC Regional Director Janeway AGREES with ME !<br /><br />Saw his comments on YNN & then I spoke with him Friday, last @ Mohonk.<br /><br />WE NEED INDIAN POINT was his comment,, & then he expanded further,,<br /><br />just sayin'<br /><br />bdbdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859894191147478362.post-90317016405612151022011-05-09T17:31:49.275-04:002011-05-09T17:31:49.275-04:00I would just like to acknowledge that this is the ...I would just like to acknowledge that this is the 200th post on the Gadfly.
