Seriously, I think you may have a point on the OPEC thing.

Here's the problem, though -- nuclear meltdowns. I just don't have the faith in either the government or the private sector required for me to say, "Yeah, let's put them in charge of stuff that can wipe out either the east coast or the west coast in a single day."

If someone can convince me that it's safe, I'll vote for nuclear power. But I've yet to be convinced that nuclear power is acceptable even when everything works the way it's supposed to, 'cause you've still got waste management and worker safety and a whole host of hassles that I don't think even really get addressed. I mean, where are you gonna put the hazardous crap after it's useless? Under my house, that's where -- or under the house of someone like me.

And that's not even getting into things like meltdowns and other accidental catastrophes.

Just seems too risky to me. Mind you, oil is causing its own problems right now -- maybe I will change my tune when the problems of oil get bigger than the problems of nuclear. I dunno.
