Re: More Greenpeace intervention

[Bernard L Cohen <blc+@pitt.edu>]

	I would love to respond to the anti-nuclear power arguments of
this message, but it would be too long. I have two books published on the
sublect, "Before It's Too Late" and "The Nuclear Energy Option", which can
serve as my reply to all the issues raised. To respond to just one point,
the cost of waste disposal has been greatly inflated --at least 10-fold--
by anti-nuclear propaganda, but it is still only about 0.1 cents/ KW-h, a
trivial part of the cost of nuclear power. And how about the hidden costs
of coal burning and all other alternative technologies?
	At no time in my life has my job security or income depended on
the status of nuclear power.
