My community is 15 miles outside of Bham in an older town. I live near coal mines, and in its heyday, the whole town economy ran on coal mines. Even today with very much reduced mining, the window frames and such get coated with sticky black coal dust.
This is the air we breathe every day. I don't expect to die of black lung, like my grandfather, but still, coal dust is in me.
I know that fewer toxins are in the air with nuclear. Nuclear provides nice cheap electricity. Our power bills average $55 per month. Nuclear is safe, for the most part, and especially compared to the tragic mine accidents that happen every few years.
I like nuclear and would approve of another plant in my state if it would help clean up the environment and produce even cheaper electricity.
Question: Does anyone know how much of Spain's electricity is provided by wind? They have a lot of windmill farms.
