“Despite so-far hollow nuclear industry claims of a “resurgence,” the reality is that the world’s nuclear reactors continue to decline in number.”
-Nuclear Information and Resource Service
Four of those seven reactors were some of the oldest in the world, and the other three were shut down for political reasons because they were made by the Russians. What about the reactors being built in Finland, Japan, and China, or the ones about to be built in many other places?
Ultimately, though, this statement is meaningless; it amounts to “nuclear power is unpopular because we’ve made it that way, so it’s a bad idea.”

Stewart, are you saying that you can’t follow standard anti-nuclear logic?
Oh, I can follow it, it’s simply a matter of being amazed at how far they’ll go.
