PRIPYAT, Ukraine - Nuclear power seems to be one option as energy needs outstrip energy sources.

Pripyat: A nuclear ghost town. Who ya gonna call?

But before we jump on that trolley, let’s remember what happened at Chernobyl 23 years ago.

The folks at Boing Boing have some photos of Pripyat, the now-abandoned city that housed Chernobyl’s workforce.

They seem to think the photos are haunting and beautiful.

They just scare the daylights out of us.
