The NIMBY attitude is what is wrong with this world. It's OK for third world countires to produce this for the neat glow-in-the dark watches, as well as other modern 'necessities,' however, most of the NIMBY people are also the ones to complain that all of our stuff comes from 3rd world countires, and 'What about our american workers?' Please realize that I do not condemn your viewpoint. I am, at times, overwhelmed with emotion to know that we live in a country where all points of view are allowed to be expressed. But realize what you will lose if you make this (i.e. Sequoyah and Watts Bar Nuclear Plants) go away.... Your home heating costs will go up, your fuel costs will go up, as well as the costs with many products that will also compete for the same 'necessary' petroleum products. As far as the production goes, it is the knowledge that we have a Nuclear Aresnal that provides a deterent for the other Major Countries, dissuading them from attacking ours. While this strategy is obviously not working the same against terrorists, as they seem to have no care for their originating countries, nor form themselves for that matter, we still have to maintain the arsenal that we have to continue enjoying the freedoms that make this Country so Great.
