The Nuclear Phoenix - An Unacceptable risk?



[ 1 ]


Dominion, who owns 2,000-megawatt Millstone nuclear power plant in Waterford, Connecticut (and two nukes in Virginia), is the kind of big power p_badtags that has long had an antagonistic relationship with the environmental movement. The case for Dominion as a friend of the Earth, however, is based on a few simple facts: It generates 45 percent of Connecticut`s electricity and 30 percent of Virginia`s without taking a huge toll in smokestack-emitted global warming gas. What`s more, in contrast to the modest current capacity of wind and solar power, nukes can produce very large amounts of electricity - enough to counter global warming by taking highly polluting coal-burning plants offline even as electricity demand increases.
