We tried to help them save face after their honorable defeat at Dien Bien Phu by Vietnamese army but were also sadly defeated by politics in the Viet Nam Conflict. Hopefully France's nuclear profileration program doesn't result in our getting nuked by any of the rogue nations France is selling the nuclear energy. France shouldn't be allowed to control US energy policy. And the USA bailed out France twice, once in World War I and once in World War II.

These three disasters led the French to conclude that only fools depend upon Arab oil. Their nuclear program was a direct outgrowth of that experience. Today the world sends four-trillion dollars per year to the world's oil producers, the mideast is no more stable than it was in 1975, and we face the challenge of climate change. The question is how long before we learn what the French understood in 1975. The French decision for nuclear power was a consequence of the Suez crisis, the Algerian war, and the 1973 oil embargo.

Considring our energy requirement of 700GW by 2030 and 1800GW + by 2050 we really do not have a choice but to go in for nuclear power plants in a big way. French experiance of generating the cheapest nuclear power in world is likely to most valuable, particularly 1600 MW super critical plants. Joint venture for FBR is also most likely.

The liberal left, lunatics devoid of common sense and always willing to shrug off facts, were shaken to their nutty core by a MOVIE! The China Syndrome, which was completely made up! And it causes an entire country to go into a tailspin and now be totally dependent on foreign oil! And as for "spent fuel", all of it, since the nuclear program was begun, can be put into a common gymnasium!

I am definitely a proponent of nuclear, but I'm hesitant at just taking some of his facts at face value...especially when it comes to recycling spent fuel....
