Default Nuclear energy on its way out.:)

Japanese were asked what should be done regarding the nation's nuclear
power plants, 2 percent said more nuclear plants should be built.
Twenty-five percent said they are in favor of the status-quo, while 42
percent said the number of plants should be reduced. Twenty-one
percent said all nuclear power plants should be eliminated.

Germany is elminating all nuke plants by 2020 by making coal fired
plants more efficent. Sorry no link someone else posted this here.

In any case it will likely take one more nuke plant accident to kill
the entire industry. The companies involved can move to cleaning up
old plants...
