Do any of you actually live near a nuke plant? I could see one from my street growing up. I watched the non-polluting steam rising to the sky. I also watched the sulfur and mercury laced smoke rise from one of the biggest coal burners in the world. I'm sorry, but I definitely prefer the nukes. Coal burners kill.

Save our rainforests, for they hold rememdies to illnesses that have been found and that are yet to be found.
