"Reconsidering Nuclear Power

Improved designs for nuclear plants, rising fuel prices, and concerns about air quality are prompting many people to take a fresh look at nuclear energy.

By Andrew C. Kadak

With growing numbers of people in the United States purchasing computers, televisions, appliances, and many other electricity-gobbling devices, the demand for electric power has been surging. Between 1991 and 2000, Americans' electricity usage jumped more than 30 percent. Meanwhile, power plants became extremely difficult and expensive to build, requiring exhaustive and time-consuming scientific studies to determine how the plant would affect the surrounding environment. As a result, relatively few new plants were constructed."

There's a bunch more, but yahoo won't let me post it all here. I don't know why. Trust me, the whole thing's there plus MANY more pages.
