“I’m not sure it would be a good trade-off – I don’t know if the benefits outweigh the risks.”

VAUGHAN PARENT, BREWER

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. We should use less energy in general by using more efficient appliances and driving less.”

CARL BRILL, BROOKSVILLE

“It’s a bad idea. I don’t think we can control the waste from it properly.”

KEVIN WIGNALL, MOUNT DESERRT

“With the present technology for disposing of waste, it doesn’t seem like a good idea.”

JAMES BAILEY, BANGOR

“I think it would be a bad idea, because it would give terrorists another target.”
