Virginians See Global Warming as ‘Very Serious’
connection newspapers By Julia O’Donoghue  November 03, 2008 The majority of Virginians believe that the earth is not only getting warmer but that global warming also constitutes a “very serious” problem, according to the first statewide poll on climate change………………..In what politicians called a major sea change in Virginia’s public opinion, a strong majority of all Virginians view climate change as a problem and said the government should take action immediately to deal with the problem……………………..nuclear is hardly the panacea to the United States energy problems.

It is extremely difficult to get a nuclear power plant insured and storing large amounts of nuclear waste is also poses a challenge. In the age of heightened awareness about terrorism, nuclear power plants also become more of a security concern than other types of energy alternatives, said Governor Connolly.
