[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by martin.knoepfel</i> <br /><br />The advocates of diesel obviously never heard or understood the idea of nuclear power plants. They produce electric energy w/o polluting, and at astonishing low costs. <br /> <br />Many diesel engines are scrapped after 20 years, when the prime mover should be replaced. Many electrics serve for 40-60 years. Makes a difference in depreciation. <br />[/quote] <br />I'm not trying to be an advocate one way or the other, but doesn't nuclear waste from nuclear power plants qualify as pollution? Just a question...
