Ah, I hadn't realised that cars took up such a large proportion of pollution. I mean, I knew it was big, but compared to industry and the generation of power I thought that it was fairly insignificant. I stand corrected [img]smile.gif[/img]

That's true, but only because the free market doesn't allocate costs correctly in cases like this. I would have a guess that if the true cost (including environmental damage) of a coal power station were known, then the subsidies given to support nuclear power would probably look quite reasonable in comparison...
