There are 3 confirmed dead, and possibly 9 or more dead, in the most recent mining accident. These accidents occur once or twice a year, killing dozens of people (or more) every year. Likewise, there are oil drilling and refinery accidents every year which take human lives.
This one accident has taken more lives than all the lives lost in the entire history of the US nuclear program. Why won't Americans see, while that NO technology is completely safe, nuclear power has the greatest benefits available at the lowest risk? If you believe the Global Warming crowd, it's clear that nuclear technology is the only solution to that problem. France gets more than 1/2 of its energy needs from nuclear power. For once, they're right.

No job is safe , no home is safe ,no road is safe 100%
So why don't we use all of the resources we have including the human .Folks who make their living mining and have little (other) recourse want to keep the jobe they have.
I do believe that if so much greed wasn't involved those men could keep there job s and be safer also.
I am nieve and not very knowledgable about the mining business but I am sure that the families depending upon those jobs would like to keep them untill they could find something better.
Nuclear energy is clean---lets go for that also !And what about wind power and wave power Hey there are options out there.
