Nuclear plants are relatively small, but the nuclear waste and pollution it creates are extremely hard to get rid of and puts out dangerous radiation. at least Co2 from oil and coal factories can be absorbed by the ocean/plants (...)

Fun fact: a coal power station dumps 100 times more nuclear radiation to the environment than the equivalent nuclear power plant does.

Wonder if that includes the "Clean Coal" plants that want to be about 50% of our nations energy.

Funny, considering the energy polcies being proposed in the US>
