In my opinion life is too short to worry about insoluble problems, but there is no disputing matters of taste. > You're missing the point. Radioactive material is a different SORT of contaminant to anything produced by coal (apart from traces of radioactive material in coal). It's one hell of a lot more than a trace! The fly ash from a coal power plant injects 100 times as much radiation into the environment as a nuclear power plant of equal electrical output; not to mention manufacturing a vast amount of CO2 and a witches brew of toxic chemicals that a nuclear plant doesn't produce at all.
