The Choice for American Environmentalists

In a post about climate change legislation, John Atkinson lays out the choice environmentalists have to make about nuclear energy:

At the end of the day, this means that many American environmentalists still want to prioritize the proven-but- extremely-small environmental risks associated with nuclear power plants above the theoretical-but- seemingly-likely environmental risks from climate change - orrrr, they are still in denial of the fact that they have to make this choice. I'm guessing that the latter is more the case.

Here's one example of what John is talking about.
