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.


Yes, irrationally afraid of nuclear power. Nothing you said there convinced
me otherwise.

Keep in mind the fact that fossil-fuel burning plants pollute while working
perfectly. Unlike the nuclear plants, they don't have to wait for an
accident in order to cause a problem.
