30 year anniversary of TMI

Opponents on the left and right face off on the viability of nuclear energy and come to the same conclusion that it's not economically viable:

"Nuclear energy is to the right what solar energy is to the left: Religious devotion in practice, a wonderful technology in theory, but an economic white elephant in fact."

UPDATE

Somewhat in counterpoint to the above quote, the latest numbers shows that the government subsidizes solar power ($24.34 per megawatt-hour (MWh)) by over an order of magnitude more than nuclear energy ($1.59 per megawatt-hour (MWh)).
