You nailed it, Boab.

How do we know that they aren't making nuclear weapons?

Besides that, what makes people think that nuclear power is the answer? Have you seen the nuclear power fields in France? Not very pretty.

...and what can be done about nuclear waste?

There is only one ethical choice - wind, water, thermal energy etc. and solar power + emission control, plus the will.

The E.U. must address this issue and get on with it. Canada, too. (I wish Canada would join the EU)

The U.S.A. has done nothing. In fact Bush has killed most alternate energy plans.

There is a solution and its not too late but in the meantime, lets not make mistakes that we cannot rectify.

Its time politicians wake up and realize that alternate energy is not only the best choice, its the only choice.
