Of course - by the same token - the government isn't forcing people to use nuclear energy. (I'm not sure if the waste comes from power plants or nukes, so please correct.) If a national election were held today and the population was given the chance to completely switch to safe, 'green' energy, do you think they would? Of course not - people don't want to pay more. So we get what we want. (Or what the majority wants - and the collective IQ of the majority is probably less than the temperature outside today.) Personaly, I _would_ be willing to pay more for my energy if I knew it would be better for the environment, and I bet most people on this list would as well, but we are certainly not the norm.
