What people - not meaning you - keep forgetting is the
cost of the
technology we have *now*. Thousands killed annually in
coal mining.
Productive agricultural land trashed. Acid rain. Air
pollution.
Radioactive releases (radon). Because we've been doing it
for over 100
years, it's ok. By current hypocritical standards, you'd
never be
allowed to build a coal fired power plant.

All tech is risky. It always can be improved. Matter of
cost-benefit
analysis.


Can wipe out entire towns, also.
