    Nuclear is pretty clean. The waste is all self contained for the most part and not pumped into the atmosphere like fossil fuels. Downfall is that it takes a long time to become safe. But there is this one place we can store it....I think its called Nevada, or something like that.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    PS - Storing nuclear waste in any form is just an accident waiting to happen. "Clean" isn't really the word I would use for nuclear...and yeah, I don't want that chit in my state in any quantity.
