Actually, I did support nukular energy until I realized that's actually much
more polluting as far as carbon goes. Lots of people, including me, forgot
about all the mining, refining, processing required. It's not a panacea, and
it's only clean at the end of the process (not really though if you think
about the long-term storage requirements for the spent fuel rods).

I would certainly support fusion, but that's still many decades away.


I love the nuclear arguments. The NIMBYs' scream no. The safety crowd
says no. The what do you do with the waste crowd says no.

And all the time there are scores of nuclear warships in or near
every major US port.
