Don't know why this is such a challenge. The answer is neither and will always be neither but that's not what you say. You can talk about trading clean air for coal power, or water supply for nukes until you're blue in the face, but I don't believe in presenting problems without solutions. Explain how geothermal, solar and hydro can reduce the need for baseload capacatiy, which means we won't need more coal or nuclear which both have major drawbacks. Talk about conservation, that the cheapest power is what we dont' use. Explain that more than 50% of energy used in homes is from appliances NOT being used...but for pete's sake don't get stuck in the mud!!! It doesn't matter which came first chicken, egg, nuclear waste or global warming we need to be solution oriented.On Umbra on nuclear vs. coal posted 1 year, 10 months ago 25 Responses
