"and of course they hate anything related to nuclear energy."

There isn't an 'of course'. Some do. Many don't.

Besides clean air and improving energy efficiency?

Why isn't that enough? A serious question.

>Tell me why I need to be on the same side as the environmentalists again? Besides clean air and improving energy efficiency?

Any interest in not reducing the number of species around the world? Or maybe clean water?

Or avoiding disasters like this?

grist.org

or this?

nytimes.com

These sorts of things destroy entire towns and kill thousands of people, but we don't hear a heck of a lot about them.

Mixed feelings, Al. The sequestration didn't make it, which was good, but the loan guarantees to the nuclear industry also didn't make it.

Be positive...look at all the other good things that made it. Besides, I think nuclear needs revisiting regulatory legislation rather than research funding.
