Re: background vs man-made emmissions

	Norm:  You recommend building natural gas fired plants.  What are you
going to do with the anti-technologists (who are also anti-nukers) who will
fight tooth and nail against these plants?  It seems to me that you are
recommending that we do things your allies are very likely to oppose.

	As other RADSAFERs have pointed out, wind, solar, hydro, wave, and fuel
cells have already been shown be impractical.  I'm certain you have some
familiarity with the disadvantages of all these methods.  Why are you
recommending them?

	And what about those natural gas pipeline explosions?  How do you
reconcile the many deaths from them with the zero deaths from power
reactors (with the exception of Chernobyl)?
