This is a sorely ignorant statement.
think about this, 70% of France is powered by Nuclear power. yes they are trying to phase it out, but exactly how many accidents have you heard about?
Now, Go and look up Thorium.
Safe nuclear does exist, and China is leading the way with thorium Just one example, but people are catching on.
I think we should follow China's lead. Instead of looking at Spinach as an alternativeedit on 29-4-2012 by LoonyConservative because: (no reason given)
The ship was at Hokkaido, Japan, and destined for scrapping when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck the country in March 2011 triggered a tsunami.
Canadian fishing vessel, the 62-foot Bernice C, claimed salvage rights over the ghost ship in international waters.
Plans to sink it were halted so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to tow it.

First, the gulf oil spill.
Second, Nuclear waste spill off Alaska.
Third, seafood restaurants go bankrupt due to mutant seafood.
Looks as if the USA wants to destroy marine life instead of saving what's left of it.....

Sigh....I'm speechless. Why in the hell have we not come up with a method of how to dispose of nuclear contaminants? So, we sink a radiated vessel into the ocean? Real smart.
That is exactly why when someone touts nuclear as a clean, safe option .. I couldn't disagree more.
It's not clean, it's one of the worst things .. sure there's no exhaust polluting the air.. we instead bury it and forget about it.. and then hope the nuke plants don't blow up or have a disaster..
The U.S.'s first nuclear power plant (the Shippingport Reactor) had gone on line a year earlier. Peach Bottom Unit 1 was an experimental helium-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor. It operated from 1966 to 1974. The other two units, General Electric boiling water reactors, placed on-line in 1974,
- March 31, 1987 - Peach Bottom was indefinitely shutdown.
Operators were found sleeping on the job, playing video games,
engaging in rubber band and paper ball fights, and reading
unauthorized material.
