<<Safe is a relative term. Nuclear plants (and yes I'm including Chernobyl in this despite the fact that even the oldest plants in the richer countries are safer than it was), have killed less people than other major sources of energy.>. The part of that equation regarding how many people have been killed, is completely misleading and overlooks the Major variable. The MAJOR reason we liberals are agaisnt them nuclear power or weapons. It is like you are looking at an african savanna filled with game and not seeing the elephants. The potential to kill and the probability of that potential. I know conservatives do not much care for the abstract world, but it is where higher order of thinking resides. The stuff Dostoyevsky, Nietzchi and James Joyce are talking about.
