Going Nuclear to Save the Environment?

As much as the title seems like an oxymoron it's not. Whoever thought nuclear energy could save our fossil fuels and our environments. Now many of you pessimists and environmentalists out there must be thinking I am crazy but I'm not. While nuclear power is obtained from splitting the radioactive uranium and plutonium atom, it's not as dangerous as people think. In fact, it's actually safer than burning fossil fuels. Seriously, the containments built for protecting the nuclides are pretty intense; they can withstand a jet crashing into them (which is pretty good since our nation has a history of planes crashing into buildings). And fossil fuels put out way more pollutants that harm the environment when nuclear does not emit many. Plus the French have discovered a way to recycle nuclear materials. recycling nuclear material... pretty impressive if you ask me. With the only dangers of nuclear really being transportation and what to do with the waste, I think I see more nuclear power in our future. Some might think that accidents like Chernobyl, Three mile island, and a recent plant shut down in Miami will cause a halt in using nuclear but it won't. Most accidents are caused by human and mechanical error, but morely human. EPA has also cracked down on the training of employees so human errors are occuring less. Also in the past decade only one shut down has occured. And Chernobyl was an example of poor design and facility which is not a problem here. By switching to nuclear we will not only save the environment (especially those polar bears since the fossil fuel pollutants are effecting the ozone and lowering the polar bear population) but we will create a better future for everyone. Now if we could just do something about gas prices...
