If it wasn't for the Stigma as Lanny mentioned of 3 mile island and Chernobyl, it would definately be more widely used. It is easier, cheaper and cleaner than using fossil fuels.

And considering its been 20 years since Chernobyl....don't you think nuclear energy is much safer now?
I don't see any problems in France. Heck, they export electricity.
And to continue with wind power...it costs a million bucks to put up one windmill. The whole country side around here is dotted with them. And its the big companies like Shell putting them up.
