My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Chernobyl. It is a scary thought. All of the people were evacuated after the disaster, albeit, up to four (4) years to late. Now there lies a 30 kilometre exclusion zone and about 2800 settlements located in the contaminated area with the population of more than 1.5 million people including about 420 thousand children.

NOW, the hypothetical question is - is nuclear radiation that puts out no greenhouse gases better for the environmkent than Australia's prefered method of coal power? is the upfront pollution of coal power better or worse than the sustained pollution of nuclear power? is it better to burn or bury? either way it will eventually come back to hurt us.
