surely wind lights your lights just like nuclear does?
at what cost? and by cost I don't mean market cost. surely cost of electricity in Japan didn't account for nuclear meltdown possibility, thus far.
of course nuclear is still better than coal, which requires huge open pit mines and produces incredible amounts of dust, radioactivity of which is greater than all nucleotides released from nuclear power plants as far as I understand.

- borism 16y agoreally? looks like 50/50 to me, and the biggest ones are certainly surface ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coal_mines_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coal_mines_in_the_Unite...
- anamax 16y ago> really? looks like 50/50 to me Yes, really. The claim, which I disputed, was that open pit was required. Showing 50/50 (open/closed) disproves that claim.
