Tallahassee Democrat – "New nuke? Nuclear power may be an option

ByRod Adams

The Tallahassee Democrat published an opinion piece on October 7, 2005 titled “New nuke? Nuclear power may be an option.”

The article lays out the arguments very well and makes the case that nuclear power should be considered, especially in a situation where there is an existing proposal to build a new coal fired power plant to serve already identified power demands.

Interesting read. I was particularly taken with the statement that nuclear power has “the virtue of no carbon-based emissions that are hard on the environment and it is renewable.”
