Here, here James. It seems people are so open to being afraid of the
"badness" of nuclear, yet COMPLETELY IGNORE all the badness of all the
other poisons we spew into the air/water/ground that our descendants
will have to deal with.

I doubt very much they'll care WHICH poisons we are poisoning them with.

FWIW I'm a big nuclear proponent. Yes, it produces nasty stuff, but is
the nasty stuff per watt any worse then the nasty stuff per watt of
coal, or even natural gas?
