“Persistent Prejudice Against Nuclear – Can Anything Be Done? Part I” by Jim Hopf

A wildly skewed regulatory and policy playing field works against nuclear energy – and it is the result of deep prejudices.

Like other forms of prejudice, these views are mostly baseless, not supported by facts or data, but they persist regardless of what scientific data say.

Meanwhile, the public seems to care relatively little about continual and harmful pollution by other industries and energy sources, relative to nuclear.

It is difficult if not impossible for an energy source to survive in the marketplace if substantial public prejudice against it exists.  What can be done about this?
