After (quite literally) over 20 years in the nuclear industry, both Navy and commerical, the idiocy of people when dealing with nuclear power never ceases to amaze me.
For example, the 20 year claim--why, pray tell, does it take 20 years for a plant to come on line? It's not construction. It's the regulation, or should I say, OVER-regulation created by people who know nothing of engineering and less about nuclear power. In reality, where I work was initially designed to be constructed from ground-breaking to hot testing in FIVE years, and generating within 15-18 months after that. It ended up taking 20 not because it wasn't ready, not because it wasn't safe, but because tree-huggers had no effin clue what they were talking about. Even now they still play their little games.
