    No disrespect to Jeff, but nuclear reactors are NOT safe — even right here in Ohio. It didn’t get talked about much, but not that long ago we came fairly close to having a Fukushima type event right near Toledo. Plant operators got the NRC to delay inspections until this happened: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis-Besse_Nuclear_Power_Station#Reactor_head_hole
