Part of the problem with the storage of waste would go away if we recycled like the French do. I don't have a problem with living near a nuclear plant, soon to be two. Would I prefer the perfect clean solution, you bet.

Watch and see the real outcome of the oil spill if you want to know why we are where we are. I think the law limits the oil companies liability, and it ain't gonna' be enough. The politicians can bang the drums and blow all the smoke they want, but the odds of passing a retroactive law to cover the cost are 0.
