shakran, we could have had a much larger and safer infrastructure of cleaner nuclear power in the same league and realm of France's power grid. Too many NIMBYs in the 70s and 80s.

You want other industries to stop polluting you stop buying their products. This is the same for power generation as solar and wind isn't feasible for most of the population on the planet.

How much pollution is GM doing these days? Not very much in comparison to their past. Apple and Dell? How about their products? Oh they don't pollute much in the US, but look at where they are getting their stuff from and how it's put together and assembled. Yes, lots of pollution. Same goes for the hybrid vehicles, since the battery materials are shipped to and from all over the globe until the come to rest in the vehicle, and see we don't know what we're going to do with those batteries just yet when it comes time to dispose of them.

But you know these shiny little gadgets.. yeah LOTS of fucking pollution associated with them. No matter how many little stickers are on the side saying things like "arsenic free glass" "mercury free display"... the industry that makes the chips, boards, and circuitry still is a top polluter.
