Dear Adrian,

Dear Adrian,

I wasn't being "patronizing." I was simply being right. If you had really studied the subject of "nuclear waste," you would realize that it is a misnomer. Spent nuclear rods are simply AND SAFELY stored until they can be reconstituted and used again. Probably the safest place in the world to build a home would be right on top of the Yucca Valley project. You might not like the commute or the view, but you'd be completely safe from any radiation.

Please excuse me for using the word "brainwashed" to describe almost all of your comments in opposition to nuclear power, but I can't think of a kinder word. Being brainwashed is not a comment on your character or your knowledge. Some of the smartest people in the world have been brainwashed. Therefore you belong to a rather elite group.

Please take the time to at least consider that you have been a victim of the lies, exaggerations, scare tactics and, yes, brainwashing that we have all been subjected to by the two principle environmental organizations, Sierra Club and GreenPeace. I have been a member of both for several years. In my book, Nuclear Green, I have included copies of three letters that have been written to Carl Pope, and others at the Sierra Club regarding their politicizing the issue of nuclear power. Every day more and more members, like myself, are realizing that the Sierra Club and GreenPeace are TOTALLY wrong with their opposition to nuclear power. My book proves beyond any doubt that nuclear power is safer than ANY other power source. Just look at the examples of the more than 4,000 people who have been killed in coal mine disasters in the past 5 years alone. Add that to the thousands who have been killed in natural gas explosions around the globe. On the other hand, NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED as the result of working in a nuclear power plant. Considering the bad design, the poor construction, the lack of safety measures and the incompetence of the staff, the Chernobyl facility doesn't even begib qualify as a legitimate or modern nuclear plant. A "Chernobyl" can never happen again.

You can probably find my book in your nearest library or you can purchase one at Amazon.com. Just print Nuclear Green or my name in the search area.
