...of jobs.

Because of my concern about this issue, I asked my staff in the Joint Economic Committee to prepare a study comparing the labor requirements for building a 1,000 megawatt nuclear and a 1,000 coal-fired powerplant.

This study shows that building a coal plant will produce 60 percent more jobs than building a nuclear power plant. I hope this information is of interest to you.

Above: Sen Kennedy discovers that coal is more labor-intensive. Left: One of the 70,000 Indian women coal carriers employed in a single loading operation on India's coal-fired railroads.

(For a more drastic photo see Business Week, 2 Nov. 81, p.68.) By that logic, Kennedy's car deprives able-bodied American's of jobs by not letting them wheel him around in a ricksha. (Safer for crossing bridges, too.)
