of course the amount of energy used/C02 created in the construction of a nuclear facility, the mining and processing the uranium, the processing and storage of nuclear waste, the energy used in guarding the nuclear fuel and waste, and best of all the energy used in deconstructing the plant when it is decommissioned, the storage of that nuclear waste...and the cost of taking care of the miners and workers affected by extreme irradiation is obviously of no concern

You, Trader and a few others are proof that not all Usenetizens are idiots.

On to your list, allow me to add the disastrous consequences of the inevitable nuclear plant accident. Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima, numerous classified accidents at DOE facilities and many less severe accidents around the globe.

Of course not. Pesky details. Nobody wants those pesky details when they have a mission!
