I've done a fair bit of my own independent research on the benefits of nuclear and have come to the conclusion that most of the anti-nuke information out there is pure ideological propaganda. The only argument that has any leg to stand on is the waste issue. Apparently none of the waste in the world (the west at least) has been permanently disposed of. How can anyone say that if this is the case that the volumes we are dealing with are significant if the waste has been sitting at the powerplant for 40 years? If you look into some of the current research into new processes like Thorium and breeder reactors, we are going to have better plants in the future with a lot less (maybe none) in the future.
