Terence Corcoran in his editorial (Is there a case for nuclear power, July 3) has made a number of errors and exaggerations in his column. He claims that the problems with nuclear power include terrorism, nuclear fuel waste and nuclear safety. His real argument is about costs.

There is every reason to believe that the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC) is committed to its mandate of steering the national effort towards the introduction of nuclear power for electricity generation in the country. To this end, it has embarked upon manpower training and capacity building for sustainable nuclear power.

Over the July 4th holiday week, I visited France, as a guest of its government, to tour the AREVA corporation’s outstanding nuclear facilities which enable the French to provide 80 percent of their electricity through emission-free nuclear power. I also visited the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial to pay my respects to our fallen American soldiers from World War II.

Nuclear power has a major advantage over fossil fuel power sources when it comes to global warming. Generating power from nuclear fuel does not produce any carbon dioxide. Shouldn’t we be retiring our coal-fired power plants and replacing them with nuclear plants?

Energy experts largely agree that nuclear power is the most environmentally benign and cost-effective method available for generating large amounts of base-load electricity. Nuclear power can help alleviate global climate change due to greenhouse-gas emissions and also help reduce our dependence on imported oil.

As part of the deal to join the European Union, Lithuania agreed to close its perfectly serviceable nuclear-power station at Ignalina. No engineering or safety case for this was ever made: the requirement was a political one, sprouting from a neurotic strand of greenery in western Europe.

It is beyond my belief that David Freeman had the nerve to come back to Chattanooga last week spouting his misguided comments about TVA’s nuclear power program. It was under his leadership, while chairman, that led TVA to abandon its nuclear construction of the many planned nuclear plants that were on the drawing board and some on the way to be a reality.

Having a healthy suspicion of politicians’ motives and public statements is a good thing in a representative democracy. There is no better example of this than in America’s perennially messed up energy policy, which favors federal subsidies over actual energy generation, and in the process, makes us hostage to foreign oil while hurting the environment at the same time. Case in point: America’s ongoing infatuation with turning corn into fuel while ignoring proven ways of bringing energy to market, such as building nuclear power plants or drilling for more oil and gas.

Over Vermont's 230 years several strange political movements persisted long enough to enter the history books. Among them, anti-Masonry, the anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant Know Nothing movement, and the Prohibition crusade all fizzled after initial successes. The most notable fringe movement still alive today is the crusade against nuclear energy. It is, naturally, focused on Vermont's lone nuclear reactor, Vermont Yankee, that went on line in 1972.

With all of the debates and even diatribes today about the harms of our oil dependency, environmental pollution and global warming, it surprises me that there have not been more open and honest public discussions about nuclear power. Why is that? In my view it is a combination of mostly needless public fear of nuclear power, and the self-interested promotions of the oil companies. So let’s look at the facts.

Of all the power supplies in the energy mix, nuclear has historically been the most criticized and controversial. But this most unpopular of power sources has recently resurfaced in political and economic dialogue.
