Nuclear power is part of the solution, not the problem. They even emit less airborne radiation than is found in the smoke from boilers fueled by coal. Nuclear power provides 80 percent of the total electric power needs of France, where the picture was taken. Its citizens enjoy some of the cheapest electricity in Europe as well as cleaner air.

Nuclear power contributes nothing to global warming and replaces fossil-fueled plants that do.
Clearcutting small patches of forest is sometimes better forestry than selective cutting. And it might be possible for the woman to be glad for her job. These pictures present a shortcut to actual thinking. They are pretty and dramatic, but they contradict the text, which stresses the need to investigate issues before climbing on board. Lately, our fellow UUs have become increasingly aware that continuing to open our borders will only exacerbate the degradation of our environment and quality of life and do little to relieve the suffering of most of humanity.
