I get google alerts on nuclear energy and what I'm seeing is that many countries are determined to move toward nuclear energy to solve their energy crisis. We the people, might want to get ourselves educated about this before it just happens to us.

limits their liability in a catastrophic accident. The 2005 energy bill updated 
the act, which required reactor operators to carry insurance policies worth $300 
million and contribute $95 million to an accident compensation fund. The rest is 
covered by taxpayers—not a bad deal, considering that it cost $1 billion to 
clean up after Three Mile Island.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2008/05/the-nuclear-option-2.html"><A href="http://www.motherjones.com/news/update/2007/05/30_ann_seabrook.html"
