Investor's Business Daily Editorial in Support of Nuclear Fuel Recyling

ByRod Adams

It is encouraging to find that some members of the investment oriented press are beginning to “get it” with regard to the opportunity provided by nuclear power. They are also beginning to understand that the old anti-nuke mantra of “we do not know what to do with the waste” is being overcome by reality.

There is an editorial on Investor’s Business Daily that discusses nuclear fuel recycling and wonders why we are not pursuing it more aggressively. Here is the most optimistic conclusion I have read in a financial editorial in several weeks:

Nuclear power means jobs, clean air, energy independence and keeping money here at home.

Let’s split atoms and not hairs.
