    As long as they make sure that no one leaves their pet lizard behind. The last thing we need is a irradiated mutated lizard from Japan running around!

    Oh shit! What about all the moths that are flying around!?

    Hey, this is Slashdot, nukes can do no wrong! Clearly this must be propaganda from the bleeding heart eviro-nuts who don't hold the same opinions as me!

    Sorry, that was a bit to complicated.
    You should tell that the guys who compare mining with running a power plant, would make more sense imho.

    BTW: I'm not thechnophobic. I did not write anything supporting your conclusion. I'm just pissed off that people here (considering they proclaim themselves geeks or nerds) lack basic abilities of logic conclusion.

    But I think I get your point: because having unprotected sex with AIDS infected (male?) prostitutes caused 33Million infections till 2007 and about 3Million deaths, the logical conclusion is: nuclear power is safe.

    Never thought about that, but I guess you are right.
