I'm afraid of nuclear power because on average it kills almost one whole person a year worldwide. Sure, coal mining alone kills 5 people just in the US every year... But still.
Hell nuclear is less pollution that wind power. Makes one hell of a lot more juice too.

Chernobyl and Fukushima would beg to differ. A few people are always going to die, but having to abandon full blown cities for 1,000 years is a little more risky than a windmill falling over.

How many nuke powerplants on US naval vessels since 1954 and we haven't had a single accidental release of radiation and no deaths. The recipe is pretty easy. Get industry and some real government scientist to design a standard 1,000 megawatt nuclear reactor and supporting infrastructure. No more custom nukes with huge cost overruns as it is designed on the run. Have the design federally permitted with no state or environmental court challenges. Don't build them in earthquake zones. Open up Yucca Mountain for permanent waste disposal.
