And mercury, and other toxic heavy metals.

This link goes to a pro-nuke site... the Oak Ridge National Lab
http://www.ornl.gov/info/ornlreview/rev26-34/text/colmain.html
It details some of the other emissions from coal plants.

Coal industry has gotten away with pollution for far too many years. And pretty much the same power companies that burn coal also burn nukes.

Seems with all that money they control the government and even the courts?
