> A single failure is enough to contaminate an area for hundreds and thousands of years. A single coal seam fire can do that too. A dam failure can even render an area uninhabitable forever. Nuclear isn't quite as green as many of its advocates claim but its environmental skeletons in the closet aren't born out of plant accidents (which are few, far between, and generally well contained in Western plant designs), they're born out of the chemical horror show that is the rest of the uranium fuel cycle. |

Nobody wants coal anymore, this is about renewables vs. nuclear.
