It stated that there was more radiation put into the atmosphere from burning coal That's correct.. And even if it is properly captured in the ash, that waste product has to be buried somewhere... literally TONS OF IT... And not a single environmental wacko in sight.... I guess it would be hard for them to explain to "unwashed masses" why coal releases more radioactivity than an actual fully operational Nuclear generation facility. I mean HELL.. before the clean air act, factories around the country were spewing thousands (millions?) of tons of ash into the atmosphere, and given such a huge quantity of ash, we can be sure that the cumulative amount probably contained tons of radioactive uranium dust in microscopic particle form. That means that hundreds of tons of radioactive industrial "fallout" have already been spread over our country over the past several hundred years through the burning of coal. And no one even knew it... Regards, Ron
