The thing about coal powered plants is that they burn massive amounts of coal, and coal dust gets emited into the atmosphere. A fraction of all carbon is radioactive (which is the basis of carbon dating). Originally Posted by Nickelking

Contrary to popular belief, coal power actually results in more radioactive waste being released into the environment than nuclear power. The population effective dose equivalent from radiation from coal plants is 100 times as much as nuclear plants.[58]Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Thanks bruno!
Chimensch: according to some declassified documents from the US government Israel has had nukes since 1975, so I don't think they're anxious to drop the bomb on iran or anyone else.
