More nuclear power plants are no answer, either. Nuclear power is a complete failure. You could say that nuclear energy has caused our energy crisis. It's inefficient, unreliable, unsafe. Wasserman cites the amount of money the United States has spent on nuclear power over the past fifty years.
Nuclear power is susceptible to all kinds of problems.
During the California energy mess, four nuclear power plants were licensed to operate, Wasserman says. On February 3, one plant had a fire. The plant, which had the capacity to power 1.1 million houses, was suddenly shut down. You have no other technology that's as vulnerable to instant self-destruction. Now they're talking about building more of them.
