What shutting down a nuclear power plant does is increase the amount of

coal burned at coal-burning power plants, thereby resulting in increased

air pollution, acid rain, environmental mercury contamination, global

warming, and associated health and environmental problems. In contrast,

nuclear power is safe, clean, and nonpolluting. The self-proclaimed

"environmentalists" who oppose nuclear power are actually performing a

great disservice to the environmental cause.
