Nuclear Debate 14 - Public Opinion and Nuclear Power
I have blogged in the past about my dislike of nuclear energy and the reasons why I think that it is a bad idea that should be retired as quickly as possible. There are many complex aspects to the use of nuclear power to generate electricity. Even if I believed in nuclear power as a good way to generate electricity and combat global climate change, I would still be concerned about its viability above and beyond all the technical issues.

Nuclear Reactors 29 - This is the End of San Onofre
I have posted a number of articles and news links about the troubled San Onofre reactors on the coast of Southern California. When two steam generators were recently replaced, the replacements failed in two years. There are charges now that Southern California Edison (SCE), the owners of the San Onofre power plant, made unreported design changes that contributed to the failure.
