i know a lot of people is against nuclear power, they are only resigned to accept it because this system of convincing people that nukes is innocuous stresses them everyday. imho i think that nukes is a way to avoid better solutions, it's just upsetting that there is a sort of promoting campaign some people do to monopolize energy.

i believe these 2,000 candles that illuminated the dark night sky, serves as beacons of hope for a nuclear-free future. -

I was 9 years old, when the disaster of Tschernobyl happened, but I remember it as if it was yesterday. Suddenly, my trust in a safe and calulable world was unrepairably damaged. I didn´t know much about nuclear energy, but I understood one thing very well: This is something, we will never have totally under our control! When I watched the news in the evenings, for the first time, I noticed that not everything was said there, but nearly everything was done to calm down the people´s fear. I hope that this action will remind us of all the dangers and uncertainties connected with nuclear power, and that one day, we will get along without this "ticking bomb"!

The worst nuclear disaster, - was less a catastrophe
than the average hurricane; far less than the major
industrial accidents;
far less than the wars for oil;
the sickness from coal and fossil fuel use.
Let us have clean energy sources.
We need nuclear power;
not propaganda from people incapable of changing their opinions from the 60's.-

thing is, fear is a great motivator. especially ignorant fear.
that being said, if that's a russian plant, i think that i'd be real reluctant to support it. if its French, Japanes or American constructed I would have no worries. -

I, too, am on the side of nuclear energy as being an alternative to foreign energy sources, though it should not be used as a reason to not pursue other means of alternative energy. Foreign energy dependence is our greatest foreign policy liability. Nothing should be off the table when considering the goal of removing foreign energy dependence.
