Is Nuclear Power America's Best Energy Alternative?

Nuclear power is more than just an occasional plot device on The Simpsons. It's a source of energy that lights up our televisions and heats our microwaves. As we explore ways to harness alternative forms of energy, however, the future of nuclear power grows increasingly uncertain. Is nuclear power our best energy alternative, or is it time to pursue other options?

    Not sure why you would be disappointed

    Brady,

    Why would you be disappointed or disheartened by the ACC's argument? You are making the SAME argument as we did when we said,

    "When it comes to energy generation, there is no one size fits all answer. One energy option will be the “best” fit in one area, while another is a “best” fit in another. North America needs as much domestically-produced, affordable, and clean energy as we can get. Coal, nuclear, hydro, wind, gas, biomass … they’re all options that need to be considered for each jurisdiction."

      well perhaps the site would care to change your stance

      because right now it gives the impression that you oppose nuclear power by having you on the "NO" side, although i suppose the question does contain the word "best"... as you say it is not the case that you oppose nuclear power, i apologize, and i suppose i should have read more of your posts on this subject.
