Good post. I don't share your pessimism but I get why you feel that way. I think people just need to be told by a good leader that there are real trade-offs with taking "the nuclear option" but we have to embrace it.
People accept trade-offs all the time. We understand some jets crash but we still don't give up air travel. We understand cars crash but we don't give up automobiles. I just think nuclear meltdown risk is overblown. If it happens four times a century, is that acceptable? I think it is. All things considered, how many people have died from nuclear meltdowns versus coal extraction?
