It's time to dispel the myths about nuclear power
I'm by no means anti-nuclear, though watching Fukushima unfold showed me a reality I hadn't fully thought out.<p>A few days after it all went bad, there was basically nothing we could do to stop it, which is terrifying. No humans could go in there, and there were no robots capable of doing the job.<p>So we as humans have the ability to build a machine of enormous power and (possibly) radiation, but when things inevitably go bad from time to time, our only course of action is to stand back and say "well, damn".
