How come since the pollution does not spew from the smoke stack, people
seem to forget about it, and call it "clean".  Nuclear waste is some of
the most toxic stuff we humans can generate, AND we have never developed a
safe method to dispose of it.  It seems to just ride around the country on
train cars.  Also, we cannot build a container to store it in that will
last longer than the stuff it contains.  That radioactive waste will
remain dangerous for long after the container corrodes or breaks.

And, last, let's not forget Chernobyl.  Hardly what we could call "clean"
is it?  Of course, "that can't happen here", right?
