32. Tradeoffs...

mother earth,

There are trade offs. You say we "don't have to add to it". I would agree; if we got nothing in return. But that is not the case.

As you can see from the University of Michigan link above, the amount that we've added is NEGLIGIBLE compared to what Mother Nature already forces us to live with.

However, in exchange for that negligible increase; we get a power source that can meet our demand, is virtually carbon-free, and isn't causing all the negative health and environmental effects of coal.

Clearly, the benefits above of nuclear power simply outweigh that negligible increase.

You might be someone that doesn't want your taxes to go up. However, if I tell you we have a way to get clean, virtually carbon-free power, and eliminate the negative health and environmental effects of coal; and the cost to you is less than 0.03% increase in your taxes; wouldn't you consider it WORTH IT?

That's what we have with nuclear power.
