The problem is that no town or city wants any type of power plant to be
built in their back yard. I live in a county that has a Nuclear Power
Plant. The liberals in this state have been trying to close down that
Nuclear Power Plant for the past 20 years. There has not been a new
Nuclear Power Plant built in the past 20 years. The reason is because
no person in America wants a Nuclear Power plant or a Coal to Oil
Conversion Plant to be built in their back yard. There is even a name
for it---NIMBY--.
