A decent article in the Mercury News about the benefits of going nuclear. One quote made me chuckle.

San Jose Mercury News - Nuclear-power dilemma: It's carbon-free, but comes with big questions:

"We think global warming is such a tremendous planetary problem that we're not going to refuse to look at it," said Karen Douglas, director of the California climate initiative of Environmental Defense. However, the group does not support an expansion of nuclear-power capacity until issues such as safety, security, waste and nuclear-weapons proliferation are resolved, she said.

So it's all but a done deal, then? Heh.
