More Nuclear Power in MN??

I love nuclear power, ::rolls eyes:: I just wish they would find a way to properly dispose of the waste it produces without affecting the environment. (and burying it in an indian reservation is not the proper way).

You can't have your cake and eat it, too. What would you prefer, the countryside littered with inefficient wind generators and solar panels, or coal and gas plants polluting the air? I'd say the current ways that spent nuclear fuel is disposed of doesn't pose a threat to conservation of natural resources any more or less than the other forms for energy production. Storage pools are becoming full, but with the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel ramping up it turns nuclear power into being cleaner than anything else.

There are groups that protest solar and wind farms--the solar panels blight the natural landscape and wind farms are that and harmful to birds. Dams disrupt all kinds of wildlife...

All these people do is support burning fossil fuels, which *everybody* knows is bad and unsustainable.
