Quote by: Derach It is not the only piece of the puzzle, but nuclear certainly can offer more US energy independance and less chance of environmental pollution than fossil fuels, and to eliminate it from the discussion on the basis that it poses too great a risk to the environment is an ignorant and knee-jerk reaction to a more serious crisis than environmental danger (economic stability).

And it puzzles me as to why the king of knee jerk reactions and scientific illiterate, Dubya, would actually favor the increased development of nuclear power. Maybe because opponents talk so much about environmental pollution and Dubya just automatically takes the opposite side of that debate.
