The coal vs n-waste claim is a false argument. People opposed to
nuclear energy are not promoting coal. Coal and nuclear are dying in the
US as opposition is at its highest and for good logical reasons. The
fact that their industry won't mount real campaigns to stop coal shows
that they are fakes, just pushing their own industry financed divide and
conquer agenda, even to the point that many pro-nuclear people are even
closet or openly public climate-deniers.
And of course the tactic
here is to ignore the vast majority of n-waste or tailings at mining
sites worldwide that make up nearly 99% of wastes that have long been
contaminating minority communities around the world.
Go look at the
contaminated drinking sources of the Dine People and the impacts to
their health. These private thieves use ancient mining laws to extract
uranium from public lands then abandon cleanup to the government with
current cleanup costs estimated at over $40 billion in the US alone.
The
real issue is simple, nuclear costs continue to climb while renewables
are dropping. We don't need swat teams to protect windmills or solar
cells from terrorists.

This discussion took place at Mother Jones News, supposedly an environmentally conscience publication. The fact that the nuke cartel bribed them to publish the drivel seen in the link below is a sign of the desperation of the dying bronto nuke.
