There are two worlds the one we would like to be in and the reality of a world where errors do happen, shortcuts are taken and it is always someone elses fault.
Make some quick comparisions of accidents that have already happened in each industry to date. Oil does some major damage in spills that is for sure, and they should not happen, regulations say there will be penalties etc... but a regulation is simply man's effort to control things, regulations can never fix the mess.
A regulation as to disposal of waste, safety mesures etc cause added production costs and as such there is good enough reason that there will be times where those are the corners that will be cut.
You sound like the guy who came on the TV warning against "scare mongers" as thought these people were concerned over nothing... such an atitude needs to be pulled up so that meaningful debate can occure and folk who have genuine concerns are not painted as fools.
Anyone selling their product will only put a favorable light on its application for humanity and at the moment there is a lot of selling begining to take place.. dont expect to hear the con case get much air play.
Really if anyone was serious about the problem and not concerned about selling cake better alternatives can be made work.
I would rather a landscape of windmills etc than grandchildren who glow in the dark. Lets get real.
