Reply #9: The huge deceit

[losthills]

of these pro-nuclear arguments is that they never take into account the environmental and public health costs of mining the uranium and enriching it.

Uranium mining is one of most destructive practices on our planet. If we sign on to a nuclear future it will lead inevitably to more Iraqs in the countries that hold the last uranium deposits. Like oil, it is a finite resource, and we would soon be discussing "peak uranium." If we live that long...

It's more of the same medicine that's making us sick.
