Quote: "Meanwhile, the U.S. tiptoes ahead. In the nation that gave it birth, nuclear power may get its second wind in a mowed field outside the quiet town of Port Gibson, Mississippi."
Question: Mississippi, from what I have seen, has a lot of farm land as well as a lot of agriculture. Wouldn't nuclear power and such ruin that?
Comment: I don't support the use of nuclear power because it seems to ruin people's health, even if it doesn't give off much emissions. For example, Nuclear bombs have a lot of radiation, and that never goes away--it just continues to spread. I even have friends who claim their family members who were in the war have health issues due to all of that radiation. I'm sure there's another way.
Clean Coal?:
Quote: "In the meantime the world's appetite for coal-fired electricity is expected to grow."
Question: Why? How?
Comment: How is there a larger demand of coal when there are so many new technologies that have been put on the market to reduce the demand? There's solar power, there's Hybrid-- even if these are only small fractions, every bit should count and reduce the demand for coal. Not only that, but there are still cars and such that are being developed that will be even more coal efficient. I personally believe that the demand for coal is going to decrease significantly as time goes on because the awareness of this issue is spreading substantially, and the wider the awareness, more action will be taken.
