Being a Biologist and having studying in ecology, I can say from an environmental stand point that nuclear energy is much safer than the fossil fuel burning plants found around the world. While accidents do occur, they are far and few between. Fossil fuel are killing the environment period, just slower then what the unfortunate incidents like Chernobil. Nuclear energy is demonized becuase of accidents like Chernobil and 3 Mile Island but it is still our best bet for a clean energy source. Hell, the waste water from the the cooling pools in a nuclear power plant emits less Alpha-partical emissions then a cup of coffee per volume. Think about that the next time the sip back on your mountain grown brew.

While using air, solar and hydro powered plants is the perfered option, they are also an expensive and non-efficient option. And since the big wigs up in D.C dont like spending more money then they have too, they keep pushing fossil fuel plants. Keeps the people from worrying about "a nuclear meltdown" and keeps the people from complaining about raising taxes for development of a clearer energy source. Hell, so what if we are killing the enviornment by using plants that put out 115,000 tons of sulphor and carbon monoxide per year. We still got a few years before it can effects us. Until an efficient plant using natural sources is developed, the best answer is still nuclear power. Period
