Going nuclear

A very interesting article by Patrick Moore, founder of GreenPeace, who now argues that nuclear is the way to go. Traditionally, environmentalists had always opposed nuclear power, given the high risk involved in disposing the nuclear waste, and the possibility of civilan nuclear technology being used for the development of nuclear weapons. This article, by an environmentalist, argues in favour of nuclear technology because it is clean, and technologies are now available to handle nuclear waste in a safe and secure manner. Alternative fuels like solar, wind, ethanol hybrids, and biodiesel are still not cheap enough for wide-spread usage.
