Efforts to guarantee public safety may actually thwart the use of benefits afforded us by technology. Some of the lessons to be learned from the regulatory experience of the nuclear power industry can apply to the aircraft and other industries if Congress passes the enabling legislation. What they show is that increased regulation can destroy the aircraft industry as fast as it has the nuclear industry by establishing unrealistic safety, emergency, licensing, and other requirements that threaten its viability. The US will feel the impact of rejecting nuclear power when it can no longer compete with the countries which elected to use nuclear power because they could not afford to do otherwise. The author outlines steps the Congress and American Public must take to revive the nuclear industry.
