Well, another awesome legacy of the Baby Boomers and Gen-X. Thanks for all the scaremongering, folks--I'm sure my kids will appreciate your principles when we have to ration their electricity.

Us Gen-Xers were a little young given the hysteria was all about the 70's. We were the "remember all that free love and stuff? yeah, not for you" generation.

Fair enough--then again, there are a lot of folks in my demographic that aren't helping matters either.

This comment is an off-topic tangent into pre-fab indignation and thus has a low signal/noise ratio.

It doesn't take many comments like this to ruin a thread for substantive discussion. The desired conditions are, unfortunately, fragile.

All: please don't post comments like this to HN.

It hasn't really been a debate for over three decades--otherwise, rationality (and nuclear power or complete decomissioning) would've prevailed a long time ago.
