GUEST,satchel	BS: Do you live near a nuclear plant? (59* d)	RE: BS: Do you live near a nuclear plant?	05 Apr 04
Oh yes, Larry and Graham, and we all trust the government to look out for our best interests, don't we? Why is it that only nuclear power requires an official escape route and plan? Sure, other power industries have problems, hurt and kill people, and have caused people to be evacuated from their homes. Only nuclear plants are required to have an evacuation route on the books. Is this because nuclear plant operators care more about people than coal- or oil-fired plants? I doubt it. These plans are there because when nuclear goes wrong, it goes VERY wrong, in far more dangerous fashions, than conventional power. The results last for much longer, too. All power pollutes, even solar panels during the manufacturing process, but acid rain doesn't have a half life of 10,000 years or so. Don't kid yourself into thinking that nuclear power is "clean." Waste disposal wouldn't be a problem if it was.
