The Berwick Chamber of Commerce and PPL officials claim that reaction  
to a new nuclear reactor are positive.  This is nothing but a  
preemptive strike against opposition.  Nuclear power does not release  
carbon into the atmosphere, but, the spent nuclear fuel rods pose an  
equally threatening environmental problem.  There has been no  
solution to the disposal of highly radioactive waste that will remain  
radioactive for thousands of years.  The federal government has  
proposed transporting it across the USA to a sacred site of the  
native american indians, Yucca mountain.  The only solution to  
radioactive waste is to stop producing it.

The $5 - 6 Billion would be far better spent on technologies that not  
only produce no greenhouse gases, but, also produce no nuclear  
waste.  This includes solar, wind, geothermal and hydro electric.
