Nuke Me!

Nuclear energy is safe! Radiation leaking from the reactors and into our bodies is safe! We would tell no lies! Coal is bad! Yet coal can be burned efficiently and fairly clean. But radiation is good for you! At what level? Any type of radiation that is shot through your body has the potential to do damage. I'm not saying coal is completely safe, it's just I would trust coal more than being radiated. Japan should be our biggest clue about how unsafe nuclear reactors are. An earthquake or tsunami hits, coal mining will not emit dangerous levels of radiation all over the world. Wind towers won't make the world's population sick. Our choices affect everyone on this planet. Our thinking affects everyone on this planet.
