DELAYED REACTION
Nukes are quietly - also safely and cleanly - making a comeback:
After a hiatus of nearly three decades, nuclear energy is booming. Seventeen power companies in the U.S. are making plans to build more than 30 nuclear plants.
Support for nukes within the US has grown from 49 per cent to 64 per cent since 1983. Electricite de France is looking to up-nuke the UK:
EDF ... has said it wants to build at least four nuclear plants in the United Kingdom.
Five nuclear plants are currently under construction in China, India and Iran; they could be followed by plants in Bulgaria, Morocco, Vietnam, Egypt and South Africa:
Thirty other nuclear plants are currently being built in 12 countries ...
Australia should join this exciting global trend.
