TL;DR rose tinted pro-nuke blurb suggests hyuge benefits in pollution reduction if only regulators hadn't made nukes un-economical with all sorts of costly environmental assessments. In ye ol' days when men were men and exchanged fireplace stories in the Bremsstrahlung glow of a warm pile, it was much cheaper but today tree-huggers and obsessive safety nuts drove the costs to the stars.

Urhm... perhaps nuke isn't that cheap after internalizing decommissioning, waste disposal and accident cleanup costs eh!

Cherenkov glow, not Bremsstrahlung. ;)
