Nuclear power -- "a clean, steady source of renewable energy"

Nuclear power -- "a clean, steady source of renewable energy"
America made a mistake in developing its energy policy around coal when nuclear energy offers a far safer, more reliable and affordable option, this editorial argues. No Americans have died in accidents involving atomic power, compared to more than 100 Americans killed in coal-mine accidents since 1984. Nor does nuclear power "sling out ash, generate acid rain or emit mercury or arsenic. It has been safely used for decades in the U.S., Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, Belgium and France," the editorial argues. Investor's Business Daily
