Just a note on our present dependence on coal-fired electric power
generation (about 60% of U.S. electricity is generated by burning coal).
The typical 1,000 Mw coal-fired power plant puts approximately 100 times
as much radioactivity into the environment as a comparable 1,000 Mw
nuclear plant. There are NO regulations on the amount of radioactivity a
coal-fired plant can emit!
