Seriously, I agree with your post. Especially when we learn that nuclear plants are built on or near fault lines! Really? What idiot thought that was a good idea? Also, there's that question about what to do with the waste that no one can seem to answer.

There are safer ways to create energy, and using the sun and wind seem to be Earth friendly choices that people can live with.

I remember hearing about Chernobyl at the time, and I remember thinking that it was only a matter of time until something like that happened. There's really no fixing it, it just takes time, a very, very long time.
