Green Options

Environmentalists across the nation argue that too many fish get sucked up and killed in the cooling systems of nuclear power plants each year.

As the presidential election draws near, Americans will be voting on a number of key issues, among the most important, I think we all agree, is energy.  Will we choose John McCain, the nuclear candidate, or Barack Obama,  the wind, solar, and fuel-efficient car candidate?

One issue that ties in to this debate: the significant loss of lake,  river & marine life that gets sucked into the cooling systems of many older nuclear power plants, battered against the sides of pipes, and heated to death by steam.
