U.S. to Place Limits on Power Plant Water Pollution

Reader Comments

Back to article

If we went to just about all power coming from Nuclear Power Plants, then polution from burning Carbon compounds to obtain energy would be eliminated. But then, what do you do with the increase of nuclear waste? One solution would be to place the spent nuclear waste in those ocean trenches where one tectonic plate is slipping under the other; the waste material would be delivered into the bowels of the earth and shouldn't affect our environment. What is wrong with this idea?
