280-megawatt solar plant headed to Arizona desert {Engadget}
Feb 26th 2008 8:48AM The worst thing is burning fossil fuel (coal and natural gas) to make electricity. This treats the air and everyone's backyard like a sewer. So both solar and nuclear are OK. You seem to be using nuclear's bad public image as a convenient way to make your point.

Sorry, off topic, I guess the subject is "The factory where they make the Ipod".

Jun 12th 2006 6:40PM Coal is worse. When they burn coal to make electricity the waste gets spewed out into the atmosphere, at least with nuclear they try to isolate it from the public.
