solar panels sitting in your backyard being leached is safer than nuclear fuel rods sitting in your backyard being leached, wait, yes I am. Absolutely I am. For you to argue that point is insanity. Do we want either? No. If we allow the regulatory enforcement of solar to be even half of nuclear then your argument is null, gone and void. And that is your Achilles heel. You act like federal containment of nuclear waste is nothing but don't allow it for solar at all. If a terrorist blows up a solar plant or if it just explodes, yes it creates a environmental disaster of huge proportions, but not for thousands of years like nuclear can. Get a grip. Nuclear is going to be part of the solution as well as solar and wind.
