Nuclear Opinion
This article from the International Herald Tribune has an interesting overview of general opinions on the use of nuclear energy around the world:
I find comments like that so strange. People have a very good reason to be afraid of anything nuclear. It is volatile and unsafe. There is not one good reason to expand our use of nuclear energy. Not one. It's more dangerous, more expensive and the materials used to create it are going to run out just as fast as fossil fuels. We need to find alternate energy forms that do not cause cancer, poison land and ruin lives. Haug is not asking people to overcome fears, he's asking them to overcome common sense.
"The biggest obstacle to nuclear energy is public and political acceptance. There is a need to overcome fear and anxiety from people who think that anything nuclear is very dangerous." - Peter Haug, Foratom's Director General

Listen to your self! It's called a little thing I like to call facts! Look at them Duh!!!!
You idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know anything? Nuclear fuel will run out in about 1 million years. As for dangerous i laugh at that, maybe it is dangerous, is you eat it. lol you're really funny.
Actually, there is truth to the statement that nuclear fuel is limited. Check out this article by Daniel Botkin, a scientist at UCSB: http://www.danielbbotkin.com/2009/02/21/the-limits-of-nuclear-power/ While there are many variables involved, this is definitely something that needs to be seriously considered as we look at new plants.
