Anti-Nuclear Quote of the Day

"The time is now, for the United States to begin to cut our dependence on nuclear power, and seriously fund alternative energy sources that are far less risky to our health, our environment, and our national security.

An excellent way to begin this transition is to halt the knee-jerk relicensing of nuclear power plants, and to take the time we have left under current operating licenses to move the nation to cleaner, safer transitional energies like natural gas and cleaner coal, and ultimately to renewable energies such as solar and wind combined with a serious commitment to energy efficiency."

-Environmental Wrecking Group

Gas, oil, and coal are not alternative energy sources. These people--a supposed environmental group--want to continue to belch pollution and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These energy sources don't have a waste problem because they simply dump it into our air--which is more socially responsible, a few casks in the desert that don't kill anyone or require significant maintenance, or pollution that everyone has to breathe, whether they like it or not?

And solar and wind aren't futuristic energy sources. Solar energy and wind energy were the first energy sources humanity ever used, and were replaced by coal in the 1700s because they simply could not produce enough. Banning anything that works and attempting to use these energy sources--as well as reducing demand to the point where alternatives of any sort aren't necessary--just prolongs the reign of fossil fuels. But that's what they want.
