Coal has no place in a sane energy future and neither does noclear power, and for many of the same reasons. I'm not going to compare two out-dated dangerous technologies that I don't support, but yeah, uranium mining is at least as bad as coal mining...

Either way, your side wins. Either way, our energy future is dependent on an extractive industry that poisons our environment, destroys our last wild places and makes tons of simolians for Cheney and Haliburton, Exxon and all their cronies.

In a sane energy future, we phase out the internal combustion engine, break up "The Grid," and generate our electricity from wind, sun, waves, and rivers-- all of which are eternal, none of which pollute, and all of which are free. Sorry, no money for Haliburton after the infrastructure is set up. And none of these sane energy sources cause cancer, destroy ecosystems, displace indigenous peoples, give anyone cause to go to war, or have any utility in a weapons of mass destruction program.

And also, there is no "anti-nuclear power industry," my friend. There is no money to be made from opposing nuclear weapons and nuclear power. People who want a safe and sane future for our children and andour planet are not selling anything.....
