and no link to boot!

However, when oil or coal fired systems have a problem, they do not pollute seawaters or land for decades afterwards.

Think Chernobyl and Japan's nuclear "accidents".

The devastating effects are still with us - AND - the USA is still fighting with states as to where to put their nuclear garbage.

USA did solve part of their problem by dumping tons of depleted uranium on Iraq in the form of bullets and missiles.

I suppose if the USA keeps its wars going, they can dump a whole lot of this toxic shit on the rest of the World.

Yes, oil and coal are dirty in the making,

but they do not have the centuries long devastation that nuclear is about to unleash on us -

maybe not right now,

but future generations are not going to remember the "nuclear generation" very fondly.

Count on it.
