What's your beef with nuclear power?

Yeah, France is like 75% nuclear and selling the power to other people, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't think you want to get overly dependent on it, but we could use a lot more than we have now.
I haven't heard McCain push it except for a mention at the RNC. I'd like it if they both got on the bandwagon.

I'm not really against using nuclear power, but I'd be curious to know what it would mean for the price of uranium and if it's OK to use as much water needed.

I am for nuclear power, but I am not for necessarily letting the contractor with the lowest bid build them.

I'm not sure what your "water" comment means.
And I would assume that the price of uranium is (and would continue to be) astronomical.

That stuff coming out of your power plant isn't smoke.

Why would there be a shortage of water?

Because it takes massive amounts of water to use nuclear power.
