that nuclear power is only providing us with less than 5% of our electricity, while coal is providing over 50%. If nuclear power were ramped up to a level to replace coal it would make this planet uninhabitable. The time to contain nuclear power is now, while we still can. The strategy of the lobbyists in this forum is already established, and never evolves: exagerate the hazards of coal, minimize the dangers of nuclear, and pretend that's our only two choces. Meanwhile, they ridicule and denigrate every piece of good news that comes out about solar and wind power. It's a stupid strategy, really, but apparently the job market for used car salesmen is down right now....
