Fear after Fukushima to push up carbon emissions

yeah right...as if China is worried about carbon emissions?

Just say NO to Nuclear power.

The US Government bought huge lands in Utah which beneath their surface contain millions of tons of CLEAN Burning Coal.

correction,, US Government did not purchase it they stole it.

Burning clean coal puts radioactive elements into the air and water along with toxic and carcinogenic elements and compounds. Also burning coal produces massive amounts of waste, much more then is produced by nuclear power. Unlike nuclear waste, the toxic properties of coal waste have no half-lives, they last forever and never diminish.

Nuclear waste will outlast us all and grows every year. We have no real way to dispose of it and it must be guarded these days to keep it out of the hands of terrorists.

Almost all other toxic waste will also outlast us all; and, unlike nuclear waste, will not ever decay to a harmless substance. Based on the discovery of the natural fission reactors at Oklo, it is now clear that Yucca Mountain is a suitable location.
