3. I'm in favor of expanding them, so long as they're all built in Texas and Oklahoma. n/t

[The Nexus]

11. And Arizona NT

4. I think this is more reflective of the countries dislike of fossil fuels

It has been a long time since any debate re: nuclear development and people need to get ahead of the curve.

5. Boy, this is discouraging -

Expand it 49% 88231
Keep status quo 26% 46537
Reduce it 26% 46299

Total votes: 181067


And this isn't calling for anything drastic such as Shut them all down now!, merely reduce it.

WTF is the matter with Americans? The EU is taking note, look at Germany.

[Scuba]

6. Choices are...

Expand it alot..

Expand it a little...

Expand it some more...

Expand it a whole bunch...

Keep it the same, only more...


Jeezus H. Kriste, what a pitiful excuse for a poll.

[Auntie Bush]

7. I'm aftaid nukes are here to stay...until something serious happens here.

We always say....but, but, but we can do it better than anyone else...won't happen to us. We smart!

8. Who's really motivated to answer this poll? Homer Simpson and 180,000 other nuclear power worker

9. You make the assumption that everyone on DU is on the same page regarding this issue.

I know there was some idiom regarding assumptions...

[RC]

10. Apparently not everyone is delusively paranoid.

How should the United States approach the production of nuclear power?

Green may be nice, but it doesn't have the energy to reproduce itself. It takes other energy sources to build and maintain.
Taking into consideration economies of scale, nuclear is the most efficient with large plants and doesn't cover up up many square miles.

12. "doesn't cover up many square miles"-Too bad the same can't be said for permanently toxic deadzones

13. These people (if they really are people) that voted this up would think differently

if they had a meltdown in their backyard.

[apocalypsehow]

14. Thanks for the heads-up. Since the pro-environment position is "expand it," I voted accordingly.
