I agree that we need nuclear power. More plants = more employment = more tax paid and less benefits needing to be paid. And then the money could be ploughed back to make it ceaper and safer all the time generating maintenance jobs.
The same can be said about natural energy, wind farms, solar powers, wave power and hydro electricity. Developing these needs people to work in the industry. When they are employed they get paid and pay taxes and the governments lose the huge deficits they have accrued. And money can be put back in to improve efficiency.
The cost of solar panels will probably drop. Think about cars, many years ago the relative cost of one was prohibitive for many people. Mass production dropped the price and everyone now has one. All it takes is or some enterprising firm outside china to realise this and probably become the new Ford of the 21st century.
Am I being a bit too simplistic here?
