Nuclear power, in general,I believe is the best, safest, most reliable, current technology to provide energy. The plants operating now are safe and the new designs are even safer.
Building new nuclear power plants would improve the economy, reduce or eliminate dependence on foreign oil, create jobs, reduce pollution, and provide for future technological advancement.
I have been working with nuclear power for about 30 years, I would be glad to have a Nuclear power plant or high level waste disposal facility in my backyard. My family and I live in a home within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant. (where I work) I have a great understanding of the risks involved and am completely comfortable with a plant “in my backyard”. I have confidence that my grandchildren’s grandchildren will be smart enough to treat the nuclear “waste” as a valuable resource or at least smart enough to handle it safely . If the cavemen thought their children would be too stupid to use fire safely, where would we be now?
Using Chernobyl as a reason not to build is like saying because of the Hindenburg I will never fly in a commercial airliner.
Nuclear power has the smallest environmental impact of any current energy production method per unit of energy produced. One fuel pellet about the size of a pencil eraser produces the same energy as about 1 ton of coal, and if reprocessed 2/3 of whats left can be reclaimed. Nuclear power is our best option for reliable, environmentally friendly base-load electrical power.
The same reasons that nuclear works well for the US Navy would make it work well for a Caribean island
I don’t know much about wave energy, but it seems like a good way to provide power as long as it did not affect the tourism which is such a large part of the economy.
