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?

Yep

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

The US Navy has something like 80 nuclear subs, cruisers and aircraft carriers.

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

At any given time there's at least one nuclear ship in dry dock at Bremerton.

They're literaly floating nuclear cities.

Very sparsely populated ones, compared to real cities.

Sparsely populated? Aircraft carriers are quite densely populated.
Dread Pirate Westley

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.

Both are addressable without too much difficulty, IMO — lots of people commute

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

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

Proximity to water.

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