Ok, I will 1. Find my original source for you in the next couple of days. (I have an Orthapedic appointment today regarding a back operation, so am a little distracted lately) 2. Research some of the stuff you have pointed to. However, I am still , so far, of the belief that it is the way of the future, and am interested that many of these ''cases' have NOTHING to do with power generation. Military applications and early development cannot be compared to power generation (aka Coal). It can be compared to issues like the slave labor used in early (equivilent developmental period?)mining, and in Whales in particular, I know they used 7-8 year olds in underground mines in years past, beacuse they where smaller and could follow the seam furthur. There have been industrial accidents and sabotage... Also, so what if China is included? USA generates 1/4 of all CO2, and a lot more than 1/4 historically! AND, China's Three Gorges Dam is a HUGE non-polluting source.... Lets not get all hyped up and sensational hey? I am talking NOW, and envioronmental effects/safety of Power generation, and as such am up for a debate.... or are you a flamer? (meant nicely....ish) But I was not aware of some of this stuff, and will look into it. (It is a great distraction from the pain!) Whew!
