Nuclear is a net consumer of energy, exists to make weapons that will poison our children, as well as the kids halfway around the world. From the pdf:
4. The task of disposing finally of the waste could not, therefore, now be completed using only energy generated by the nuclear industry, even if the whole of the industry’s output were to be devoted to it. In order to deal with its waste, the industry will need to be a major net user of energy, almost all of it from fossil fuels. 5. Every stage in the nuclear process, except fission, produces carbon dioxide. As the richest ores are used up, emissions will rise. 6. Uranium enrichment uses large volumes of uranium hexafluoride, a halogenated compound (HC). Other HCs are also used in the nuclear life-cycle. HCs are greenhouse gases with global warming potentials ranging up to 10,000 times that of carbon dioxide. [PDF]

USA -Feedwater system flaw shuts down Nine Mile Point 1 nuclear plant
It’s the second time this week that Unit 1 shut down.
The first time was Monday, after high winds from Superstorm Sandy blew down a lightning pole in a National Grid switch yard that handles electricity generated by the plant. With nowhere for the plant’s power output to go, two output breakers closed and the plant shut down, Lyon said.
USA -Questions arise about shuttering of Kewaunee Nuclear PP -Waste storage problems!
According to that report, about 3,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel is in storage at nine sites across the country where commercial reactors have been shuttered.
“This all came as an awful surprise,” said Paplham. “That waste may be sitting there for 200 years.”
Those poor folks in the town don't even suspect the 60 to 120-year life vaunted dry casks will probably never be built anyway. Not by Dominion anyway and not starting in five years.
Hell, most of the dangerous spent fuel rods in the Kewaunee plant cooling pool have been ready for cask containment for decades. What makes you think the energy company is going to start in five years when the last batch of removed active fuel becomes ready for the million dollar casks? They will go crying to the feds asking for money and we know how that will work out. More delay, and another Fukushima waiting to happen on the shores of Lake Michigan. Yes, you dumbass greedy city fathers, you were lied to. The spent fuel rods are highly dangerous for 10,000 years. Your descendants will despise you for the deadly legacy.

At the end of the video clip you can hear Representative Rick Lazio start to make the argument that if you only just locate nuclear plants correctly they are less of a threat. I also wish at this point Bill Maher would have said, "see Japan" again. We are impacted and our food supplies are being contaminated here in the USA even though Japan is an ocean away.
It is frigtening that elected officials are lacking in their knowledge about the downside of nuclear. We anti-nuclear people must work harder to educate our elected officials.

"Okay, because there are better ones, …and that has it's problems also… see Japan." – Bill Maher
4 seconds of air time is better than nothing.
It's a start.
The audience clapping was inspirational too.
Most people really do get it, they just feel powerless to change it or perhaps they FEAR being powerless? That's what they want us to think.
