Pretty dismissive from someone who doesn't back the statement up at all. France's 78% reliance on nuclear power seems to disagree. Oh, and Japan's 37% reliance on alternative power is pretty damning too, isn't it? Sorta skirting the 420 billion kwh that reactors produce yearly in a highly industrialized country, aren't we?
Boy, I wish I'd studied history so I'd know how doomed we are.
