The ironic thing is that the enviro-wackos that scream about the evils of gasoline cars are the same folks preventing nuclear power plants from being built. Its the old 'ignorance is bliss concept'. These nut jobs think that achieving affordable, reliable and cleaner energy sources is just a matter of 'trying'. Well, power companies, governments and universities have been 'trying' for years, not sitting around cashing in on kickbacks from oil companies like the Ralph Naders of the world want you to believe. Technically difficult problems take time and money to solve, time and money that is often wasted in legal battles with the extreme, well organized environmental groups.
