dangers and
             problems associated with nuclear fission. Hazards range from unsafe storage of radioactive
             spent fuel to core meltdowns. The problem of finding safe ways to store spent fuel, cooling
             fluids, and other supplies is so daunting that forty years of work has not found a satisfactory
             solution. (Alternative Energy Institute, Inc. 1999, [online]) The core meltdown in Chernobyl,
             a small city in the Ukraine, caused immediate threat to the lives of over one hundred and thirty
             thousand people living within a thirty-kilometer radius. (Griffin 1992, [CQ Researcher])
             Chernobyl is proof enough that nuclear fission is not a safe way to produce energy.
             Fossil fuels are not only harmful to the natural environment. They also have a negative effect
             on the world economy. This is demonstrated in the heavy fluctuation of oil prices due to
             unstable availability. During the energy crisis of the 1970s, oil prices skyrocketed because of
             limited supplies. (Brown 1994, [n.p.]) As these supplies continue to diminish
