Bruce was wrong

Does raise the question as to how credible "celebrities" are when they promote and idea or ideology.

Agreed!!!! :)

Damn that Pepsi generation!

yeah another ass that comes to mind is George Clooney.

It's all a matter of "perception" The average "joe" perceives the dangers of nuclear power to be too high. When in fact, they are safer than coal fired plants.

Seriously, anyone who listens to celebrities just because of their celebrity are just ignorant douches. But that applies across the board & extends to all people. If you blindly follow your priest (or whatever), cops, politicians, CEOs, or ANYONE, you do all of us a disservice. No one is above reproach...use your brain! That said, I'm not sure how nuclear power impacts gasoline, & is anyone talking about nuclear fission-powered vehicles? Clearly, there's something incredibly wrong with todays gas prices & it pisses me off to no end that these profits are going into oil company pockets instead of being used to find solutions. And the gov't has done nothing to intervene. Pathetic. In fairness, times have changed & most environmentalists embrace nuclear power as a green resource. From an emissions stand point, clearly nuclear power is cleaner, but the technology is inherently more dangerous than coal. Nuclear fission requires many, many safeguards throughout the entire process (from site location, building design, cooling systems, collections systems, material handling & storage, monitoring, security--you get the point) whereas coal has nearly none of these requirements. There's a reason why joe-schmoo is allowed to have a charcoal BBQ & will never be allowed to have a nuclear fission BBQ. (I know, dumb example.) Sorry for the rant. As Molly Shannon says, "Don't get me started. Don't even get me started."

hey - I'm all for no nukes... as in the weapons, but why wouldn't we use nuclear power?
