    efficient electrical energy source

    Not even close after you factor in the cost of decommissioning and storage of forever radiation. And before you reply with “next gen” don’t forget that you replied to the comment about “nuclear fission plants”.

      Wouldn’t be nearly so expensive if anti-nuclear idiots like yourself wouldn’t keep voting to block long term nuclear waste storage facilities from being built in the first place.

      There’s a half built one in Arizona that can’t be used because idiots are afraid of a tectonically stable underground silo somehow releasing dry nuclear waste.

      Do actual research. Fear mongering about nuclear reactors is exactly why they’re so expensive.
