I didn't say that you couldn't use energy from somewhere else to make something radioactive, I said you couldn't make radioactivity out of nothing. (Upon reflection, not a very useful statement, and I should rewrite the article; I need to include more material on safer nuclear technologies anyway.) The main point of the article stands: coal power releases over a hundred times as much radioactivity into the environment per kilowatt-hour as nuclear power. And that is the least of the pollution problem from coal. -Bill --part1_1a8.92e6fc1.2ac4e485_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20186
