Laying it off on Clinton-Gore is not reality ... it is spin doctoring. The truth is that if it had been proposed to Bush-Cheney it wouldn't have seen the light-of-day either.
If you have gotten the impression I am against fission energy you have the wrong impression. I think the industry has sealed its own fate by lying to the public. That does not mean I would vote against building a reactor in my neighborhood. The two are mutually exclusive.
The politics of fission are simple. The industry that expects to profit financially from the production of electricity, and as a byproduct the production of waste, must solve the problem. Laying it off on the taxpayers is a non-starter.
Let me restate that ... telling me you have a new, safer, cleaner technology will not get my support. Telling me you are economically viable without corporate welfare will. You are fighting the wrong battle.
