After dodging another Fukushima disaster, can we continue to avoid disaster of nuclear power plants on earthquake fault lines like Diabolo Canyon in California? Environmentalists have opposed nuclear power as dangerous in the past, but they are now following Obama’s lead in favoring it over power sources that emit carbon dioxide. That’s right — nuclear waste that has to be safely stored for thousands of years and is some of the most toxic substances on earth less of a threat than carbon dioxide that plants need and consume naturally. Just like Kerry said that air conditioning is a greater threat than ISIS.
