I believe nuclear derived power should be phased out. Nuclear power is inherently dangerous. The nuclear industry says nuclear power is cost competitive , but I have never seen a cost estimate to store millions of gallons of toxic waste for 1000 years. What is the cost? Does anybody know? I have no degree from any university or college, but what I do have is common sense.  If storage of nuclear waste is factored in, and it must be, nuclear is without a doubt far more expensive than any other power producing method. Japan just announced that the price to clean up Fukushima is 250 billion dollars. This does not include the damage done to the Pacific Ocean with the dumping of billions of gallons of radioactive water into that ocean. Radioactive water has been detected off the shore of Oregon. What is the cost of this? This is totally unacceptable. More nuclear power is a death sentence for future generations.
