As the title says, I'm interested in this community's perceptions on nuclear energy.

It's interesting to me that the conversation has shifted so far from ecological footprinting to carbon footprinting. I don't think the Navajo Nation would agree that nuclear energy creates less emissions that coal. The mining and end life of nuclear energy is just too toxic for me to ever consider it clean or green.

Of course, I also have an issue with hydropower, so 🤷🏻
