What is the timespan on Nuclear stuff? As I remember it is very short . One argument against nuclear is that the outlay is barely recovered and then of course you have the danger factors and nuclear waste storage problems =

One day the truth will actually get out about the way these plants are run, what they are run for and why.

If you want a good read get "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman

The section on the world's nuclear power plants -- and the details on Chernobyl -- is SCARY reading. Great book though : )
