clean nuclear clean


there is an argument for the use of nuclear - no emissions and only that little problem of dealing with nuclear waste. the new jersey incident referenced below was three mile island. read more about the three mile island melt down HERE. nobody was hurt: no chernobyl. we apparently built thicker walls to keep our nuclear material contained. Chernobyl remains the nuclear disaster of the modern era. a complete disaster, the effects of which are still ravaging communities. read more here HERE.

but these two incidents do not define why nuclear shouldn't be considered as a clean source of energy. read HERE about arno penzias' take on the use of nuclear energy. he, by the way, was part of the team that proved the big bang. a small humble feat.
