Certainly, it was people consuming in an uncontrolled manner that increased greenhouse gases - not environmentalists concerned about radioactive waste. Trading one long-term mess for an even longer-term mess is irrational. There still is no solution to radioactive waste. We're talking thousands to hundreds of thousands of years of contamination, rather than just the centuries involved with global climate change. It comes down to externalization of costs and how long before that piper returns to collect his due. When will we learn? Geoff Patton Wheaton, MD

The other day on another forum Professor Bruce Walsh of the University of Arizona offered this insight: "Is global warming a serious enough of a problem for us to go nuclear? Remember, the folks that shut down new nuclear power plant constructions made a major contribution to increased greenhouse gases."
