Japan to Phase Out Nuclear Power?


Japan is considering phasing out of nuclear power. This is a big mistake in my judgement. We need clean electric power. 

I am all in favor of green sustainable power coming from solar, wind, tides, and underground. But we will still need massive amounts of power. Our conventional choices are coal, gas, oil, and nuclear. Nuclear is the cleanest of the major sources by far.
