How clever.


Irrationally afraid of nuclear power? According to the UN, there have been
386 serious nuclear power plant accidents around the world (serious defined
as a significant release of nuclear material into the atmosphere). Several
of those accidents have been right here in this country. In addition, there
have been over 6,000 nuclear weapons tests, resulting in millions of tons of
radioactive material spread across this planet. Nobody is certain how many
nuclear weapons accidents there have been. And, since records are not kept,
nobody is certain how many accidents there have been at nuclear research
facilities. The nuclear industry, peaceful or military, has been no friend
to this planet or it's people. And that's not a "PC" perspective - it's
simple common sense.
