I agree the waste is a problem, but the tree huggers worry about the waste from coal fired electric furnaces. No one wants poor people to freeze in the winter nor be short of electricity so ... Guess we need to see how France is dealing with the problem of waste... develop an equal way to have waste from coal put in a package we can worry about how to safely store or sit and look at the wall when we have no electricity.

NG, clean, Nuke, clean Coal, dirty. No drilling for NG then more coal or nukes or no electricity.

Solar panels for meeting the needs of one home minus Air Conditioning costs about $30,000, with climate control more. We are a long way off from solar electricity so NUKES, Coal or Natural Gas? I say nukes and NG and work on Clean Coal and alternative energy at the same time.

Word has it that China opens a new coal fired electric power plant every week, so if one worries about the environment we need to figure out how to clean up coal so we can get China to use clean coal otherwise it won't matter if America is Carbon Free because China will have destroyed the world with dirty coal.
