John, as an advocate of greater efficiency as well as common sense, I hope you’re right about this:


Call me a nuclear-power nut if you want to, but I continue to believe that a new wave of private investment in nuclear energy is coming and essential. And call me a starry-eyed optimist, but I think the reason why America is going to do the right thing, finally, is that public understanding of radiation isn?t as appalling as it used to be.


I especially hope you’re correct about that as opposed to those to whom the future of energy production is in friggin’ chicken waste.
