Four Mile Island?


Bush announced today in Alabama that "It's time for the country to start building nuclear power plants again." He proposes utility companies add up to 30 new plants to supply future energy requirements. Bush is pushing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to take action on nuclear power plant applications and says that "We're beginning to make some progress" and "that's good news for the American consumer."

Until we find a better way to safely dispose the waste generated by these plants, I cannot support this approach. Burying it in a mountain, shipping it off to space or dumping it in the oceans is not the solution. Just my opinion.
