An Environmentalist Wants to Talk Nuclear Energy

After reading MSNBC's five-part hit job on the global nuclear industry, Michael at Groovy Green asked this of nuclear energy supporters:

I still have my doubts about any technology that creates such massive waste and could itself contribute to weapons or disaster. Advocates of the industry can go on for days about how great this or that is, but the end result is nothing surrounding the word ‘nuclear’ is 100% safe. Just like coal burning plants, it’s still a dirty technology. OK, Nuke pros/cons, let’s talk about this.

Please take him up on his offer. As always, be respectful.
