One thing most people don't realize is that radioactive materials are
present in fossil fuels. Coal and oil fired power plants release more
radiation into the environment than a nuclear power plant does.


What? That's pretty misleading. A bit like saying a smoky old diesel is
environmentally sound because it doesn't give you any problem with
radioactive waste that has to be stored securely for several hundred years
because it is so dangerous for the environment.
