Smells like corporate spam. They left out these other facts:

  1. The nuclear industry wouldn't exist in the US without government insurance (and other) support. (Why do they get a free ride?)

  2. Even after decades the nuclear industry still doesn't have a sustainable answer to it's waste. (Instead it becomes the government's problem to clean up, bury and monitor the sites.)

  3. Renewable energy sources are significantly cheaper to establish and operate.
