William Tucker, Nuclear TH
America's energy future is a contest between coal and wind. Which can create more jobs? If you think there's a better option, you don't have a place at the table. And that's where nuclear stands today. Sure, there may be questions about potential accidents and the effects of radiation, but the real problem is this: Nuclear is so energy intensive that it doesn't produce enough jobs to create a political constituency.http://www.nucleartownhall.com/blog/william-tucker-nuclear%E2%80%99s-problem-%E2%80%94-too-much-energy-not-enough-jobs/
