We already have some solar and wind power which could and should be used as they do in Europe. We need to invest much more heavily in this renewable resource. 

Prior to the approval of this project, there should be a full environmental assessment that details disclosure of the total land footprint not just the reactor site, water sourcing and discharge, agricultural and environmental impacts, independent studies of the hydrogeological assessments and economic impact on agriculture vs energy jobs. 

We need to rethink nuclear power as the way to go for the entire planet not just our local corner of the globe.
