you're too young to remember, but in the 70's there was a huge media storm over the nuke plant on three mile island, and the same year a very popular movie came out called "the china syndrome" about a nuclear plant meltdown, and a very popular t-shirt that read "nuclear power? no thanks!"  by the way "china syndrome" is a term to describe a nuclear meltdown that would melt through the earth creating a hole to china.  the powers that be don't want us to have cheap, clean energy.
