Joe,

Your definition of "pollutant" seems to be linked only to acute short term impacts on people's health. Perhaps you need to broaden your definition a little bit?

Nuclear is very clean until you have to bury nuclear waste or have a melt down in a reactor. There are plenty of "wackos" in Northern Europe who really didn't like being contaminated by Chernobyl. My wife narrowly avoided the plume herself.

BTW: I grew up in Los Alamos believing the "nuclear is clean" BS. Last summer they frantically built a huge retaining wall to keep nuclear waste out of the Rio Grande (after the fire.)

Good thing that the big rain they feared didn't happen, or Albuquerque and El Paso would have become ghost towns.

But still, that's not the point.....I don't give up a freedom so easily. The intent of the forum comes second to that.

I think you are blowing this a little bit out of proportion.


Joe,

The environmental wackos concerns may arise from meltdowns like Chernoybal and the almost meltdown in PA...and then there's the radioactive waste that has to be disposed.

Why do you think they are concerned and you are not?
