I was basically conceding that point to the parent, since that is not central to the point I'm trying to make. I personally think that we as humans have ample ingenuity to solve our future energy needs, I just don't want to see a world where accidents like Chernobyl and Bhopal (and their many unfortunate victims) are essentially swept under the rug as a cost of doing business.
Agreed! That's why I think that more people should realize how many deaths are attributable to fossil-fuel air pollution: millions per year.
