Yeah, I like to dig through the archives and check out old Frontlines on the website, theres some really good stuff on there. Also, this Heat one should be really interesting.

Watched it last night. It was good but it was the same facts, same questions and the same deadlock. I don't think I learned anything new. Though some of the location and footage was really cool.

I've been saying it for year, Nuclear is the answer. It is a great deal more advance then it was 50 years ago, produces a great deal less waste then in the past and if you weigh the options of effect of continuing with coal vs the amount of nuclear accident over the past 50 years, coal is long term suicide.

Yes but the fact is that we do not have the technology to use it to it's full effect. Wind power also sounds great on paper but when put into practice it doesn't work. Niether are a effective means to generate enough power without interruption and to keep up with demand. Thus they are never going to completely replace Coal.

With Nuclear it is expensive at start up but once the reaction is started it never stops and will run when the sun isn't shinning and the wind isn't blowing. Building a power grid based on the weather is about as realistic as burying carbon emissions in the ground. If you really look at the reason why there isn't more nuclear plants in the US has more to do with NIMYBY and cost then real safety issues.
