POLL: Would you support new nuclear power plants in your state if placed in remote areas?

I would also support them in non-remote areas

Would you support a plant if it were located within 1/2 mile of your home?

No. Nuclear plants should only be built far away from large population centers.

Most of time they are far from major population centers. Plus, apples ≠ oranges

Very sparsely populated ones, compared to real cities.

Sparsely populated? Aircraft carriers are quite densely populated.

OK, then let's say lightly populated. As in not a whole lot of people.

But your post does remind me of the K-19 incident. Good movie too.

"Equated?" No, not at all. That's just a classic example of a silly CB strawman.

Talk about apples and oranges... comparing soviet nuclear standards with those

Ah, VAcougfan comes through with his usual strawman. I made no such comparison.

Proximity to a qualified work force, and infastructure to deliver the product.

Nuclear workers are typically required to live within 50 minutes of the plant.

Perfect. Makes complete sense, especially in less populated areas.

Proximity to water.

Yes, water is critical. Fortunately, water ≠ large population centers.
