Bunch of uneducated folks posting comments about it on Yahoo.
The key to the nuclear rennaissance is public education.

Has anyone ever hiked in the Adirondack Mountains and seen the "dead lakes" up there? Acid rain. Where does acid rain come from? (Hint: Not nuclear).
Given the cost of continuing regulation under the Clean Air Act, Vermont will either be paying much more for brokered electricity (from nukes outside their state), or paying for scrubbers for their fossil waste emissions.
Another state has spent $5.3 BILLION on clean air act policies. Vermont is going backwards, IMHO.

Sorry...let's not allow facts to cloud political agenda. [soap]

Thanks all for that input. Supposedly it happened this weekend in NY. I heard it on the radio from some people who think it is "NUCULER" energy so I did not want to take their word for it.
