Or all of the land cleared for power lines or the massive amounts of metal involved. Nor does it take into account the usefulness towards R&D of sustainable practices or jobs available with the decentralization of electrical power, or the human factor of local and/or community co-operative resources sustainability or control. Where does the nuclear waste go and what about all of the steam created? So far they're burying nuke waste in the earth and dropping it into the Mariana Trench. We'll have irradiated ocean life and higher levels of cancer for the next 10,000 years?nuclear power still doesn’t take into account the electromagnetic radiation exerted from high-tension power lines especially, along with all long-distance electric transfer.

How long before the reactor vessel starts to break down. Let's face it nothing lasts forever, and has anyone ever heard what that expectancy is? There's a lot of info we should know before we decide.nuclear power is fine while the plant is operated honestly, and within its life span. How long before the reactor vessel starts to break down.

It seems that there are secrets and they may not be safe ones. Nuke power would be fine if treated right. Lets don't destroy ourselves for greed, make these plants operate safely at what ever expense is needed.We need an independant group to study and inspect the plant.

We should do R&D in solar and wind to effectively use them before we invest too heavily in the Nuclear. The negatives of nuclear plants are not worth it at this time. So, I would say how the Greenpeace students said during the protest, “Retire Vermont Yankee”.

Wind and solar are not reliable and to power the entire country we would have to carpet bomb the landscape with panels and wind turbines. So Nukes are the way of the future.
