Re: Nuclear Waste Watch

["Peter McLarty" <petmcla@soonet.ca>]

I have mixed emotions...these are my current musings...

It sounds great (romantic) to stand up and opose the nuclear movement... but
it would be hypocritical of me because I am quite willing to consume the
electricity which is now generaterd by nuclear plants...but what are my
options??? Are there any TOTALLY safe alternatives? All systems on earth are
intricately connected. There is always some risk to the environment and
future life on earth. The question is how much risk is each of us willing to
live with?

The only way we are going to prevent future nuclear developments (and we can
only do it the local/national level) is to reduce our consumption/demand for
more energy or to demand "cleaner" alternatives AND be willing to pay for
them.

The key to solving most problems is education. This is where I would like to
focus my energy/efforts. I think CN should pass on this unless someone is
commited to becoming ACTIVELY  involved. I am not in favor of a "token"
endorsement NWW.

I might have some deeper thoughts later.
