What percentage of France's electricity would you suppose comes from nuclear power? I don't seem to remember hearing how their country is glowing in the dark from all the accidents and spills
Don't know nor do I care; the better question is what are they doing with all the toxic waste? Where is it being dumped? Folks are upset because coral species are being declared endangered and other species are disappearing, but by all means lets keep dumping crap like this in our oceans, cause it isn't having any effect. What kind of world are you leaving behind for your children to grow up in? One that is covered in dead oceans and full of toxic waste because we can't find a better solution?
Don't get me wrong, I'm no tree hugger, nor do I agree with a lot of the "eco-hype" that goes on, but I don't buy into this. You live in Aurora (I assume Colorado), ever been to the waste dump site outside Denver where they are hauling radioactive soil in by the semitruck load and burying it in concrete, rubber-lined bunkers; knowing full well that in the next 50 to 100 years those bunkers will be busted open and all that toxic soil will come spilling out ~ there's a good solution for you! Or how about participating in the discussion that involves taking southern Utah and Wyoming and turning them into a dump site for the U.S.'s toxic waste from the nuclear powerplants we already have, because we don't have anywhere else to put it, and nobody lives there anyway ~ yet another brilliant solution.
