Reply #4: Yup. We should IMMEDIATELY stop using a power source that makes radioactive toxic waste!

You are absolutely right. Let's all march in Washington DC to demand that our nation immediately stop using any power source that makes radioactive waste. Like coal:

Coal Ash Is More Radioactive than Nuclear Waste
By burning away all the pesky carbon and other impurities, coal power plants produce heaps of radiation

Coal, meanwhile, is believed responsible for a host of more quotidian problems, such as mining accidents, acid rain and greenhouse gas emissions. But it isn't supposed to spawn three-eyed fish like Blinky. <-- a reference to the Simpsons...

Over the past few decades, however, a series of studies has called these stereotypes into question. Among the surprising conclusions: the waste produced by coal plants is actually more radioactive than that generated by their nuclear counterparts. In fact, the fly ash emitted by a power plant—a by-product from burning coal for electricity—carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy.

Darn. When you're right, you're right pal. We should immediately demand an end to coal power plants and demand that the government make nuclear power plants the only large scale power plants possible.
