OK, let's keep it "environmental"...
If I may be contrary, I really don't agree with the anti-nuclear histeria which is now being fuelled by the media. What happened in Japan was a really extraordinary event, and this, coupled with some human negligence/stupidity, caused this nuclear crisis. Consider the benefit of nuclear in context - even if the plant blew up and killed 1000's of people, it's past environmental benefit has already saved millions from the effects of global warming, which would have been many times worse if all the nuclear plants in the world had never existed, and their power had been generated by fossil fuel over the past 40-odd years...
Suggesting that nuclear power stations be closed to prevent future disasters, is on the same level as suggesting that everyone stop driving cars as there is a possibility that a vehicle might be involved in an accident, and the occupants might be killed
it's just not practical. Yes, one could argue that solar, wind and wave power are safer/better alternatives, but then so is having EVERYONE on this world riding bicycles instead of cars...
OK, putting on my flame suit and crawling into a hole now
