And there's the rub - nuclear reactors, which the sheeple are so afraid
of! You can have the best, safest nuclear reactor design, that's
demonstrably less harmful by orders of magnitude than a coal-fired power
station, yet it'll never get built because people are too afraid.

Sadly, you are quite right; at least in the U.S. Japan
doesn't seem afraid of reactors, China may not either.
Perhaps they will become the hydrogen OPEC (OHEC?) of the
next century.
