Plan promoting nuclear plants raises fears in community - Opinion - USATODAY.com
An energy plan pushing nuclear power is frightening to me and many of my friends and neighbors ("A risky technology," Opposing view, Atomic power debate, Thursday).

Mountain of waste: Landfill would save $1 billion, but is it the best alternative?
