Katrina, Rita, Oil, Natural Gas, Iraq and the Future of Nuclear Power in America

Show of hands, how many of us knew that the nuclear power planet at Waterford, Louisiana was in Hurricane Katrina's path?

It came through with flying colors and is already operating again while its energy producing brethren are just beginning to assess what needs to be done to get back on track.

I agree with the assessment here that we need to get moving on the future of nuclear power. The oil isn't going to last forever and our children deserve better than to be held over a barrel of the crap every time the political winds shift in the Middle East.
