>>>><things as nuclear power systems, or GM crops, or the economics behind power
generation. They don't like these things, and people are not usually
interested
in learning about things that they don't like. As a result, most
environmentalists are ignorant to the fact that reactors are not hot, until
you
turn them on. If it has something to do with nuclear, then it is opposed on
principle. This is why most nuclear companies, gave up trying to be
reasonable
with these people quite along time ago>>

Sorry, but at least from a European standpouint, this is not correct.>>>>

Which part of it is incorrect? Most of the Environmentalists that I have met,
have been hippy types who think nuclear waste is "green stuff, that glows in the
dark" and that GM crops are akin to viruses and infectious diseases. I do not
claim that all environmentalists are this ignorant, but it is clear to me that
the thing missing from many of these peoples lives, is good technical education.
