Reply #7: Chernobyl... [View All]

Indian Point...Three Mile Island... Just to name a few. Nuclear power plants are dangerous threats to humanity. People living near them have seen cancer rates rise, water quality diminished, and nuclear programs always result in those countries having access to nuclear materials to make weapons. Nuclear weapons need to be banished from the face of the Earth, and power plants should be closed down in order to make way for safer alternatives. Solar power is the best alternative along with biofuels that can be made from sources that do not waste water and use valuable food crops needed to feed people. And I don't see nuclear energy as an alternative, I see it as a threat to mankind and always will. But there is money to be made in the nuclear industry, which is why Dick Cheney backs it so much as well. I don't.
