Coal power *STILL* produces more nuclear waste than nuclear power. Where do you think the radioactive uranium and thorium in coal go?

A wizard with a wand makes the magically vanish?
The coal smokestacks remove them for existance?
A chemical magically makes them stop being radioactive?

No-- coal is a dirty, dirty source of power.

Nuclear power sucks too, as you say. But it sucks less than coal. And right now nuclear is the only real alternative to coal.

So when you say "no" to nuclear, you say "yes" to coal. "Yes" to more radioactive waste. "Yes" to more air pollution.

Nuclear power has issues, yes. But it has less issues than coal.
