Washington Post : Faced with evidence that coal- and oil-fired electric plants are overheating the planet, and alarmed by soaring demand for electricity, governments from South America to Asia are turning once again to a power source mostly shunned for two decades as too dangerous and too costly.Globally, 29 nuclear power plants are being built (see Physics Today February 2006: Stonger Future for Nuclear Power ) .
