no technology is without impact. the whole current (

)energy debate is based around the amount of profit to be made versus the environmental impact.
the difference with nuclear is it adds legacy and weaponry into the mix.
it would be alot easier if we struck nuclear off the list and started to base our energy decisions on providing energy that was as green as it can be, whilst supplying the energy neccessary.
if the debate was based on that framework, we might get somewhere i reckon!
