The fact that environmentalists have campaigned so vehemently against Nuclear Energy, is the reason Nuclear energy has yet to become entirely safe. It's because of environmentalists that there are laws preventing any company from further developing and researching more efficient and safer ways to use Nuclear Energy, and because of those same laws, existing Nuclear Power Plants aren't even allowed to be updated with newer equipment, which means that a Nuclear Plant still running from the 70's that's starting to beak down, can't even be fixed or given newer and safer reinforcing, it ha to keep running with broken down equipment. It's stupid lobbying against Nuclear Power that has prevented it from ever improving, and has kept us from discovering ways to drastically reduce the nuclear waste produced, or ways to destroy the nuclear waste, or ways to perhaps even double the efficiency of the energy we could get from the process. With thorough research and development to bring Nuclear Power to modern science standards, instead of leaving it's technology in the 70's, a handful of Nuclear Power plants in the United States could attribute more then 75% of the country's electrical power.
