i read the articles... I am not totally anti nuke - but those were propaganda. safe, clean and cheap? safe - prove it to me... clean.. not until we neutralize the waste cheap - not until we quantify the costs... better?
There's too much Money tied up in Fossil Fuels. The Government isn't about to unleash free(er) energy and destroy tens of trillions in proven assets. Special Interests Rule and they won't allow it.
You guys got it all wrong. What we need now is a virus to kill off 60% of the world's population. All technological aspects of the planet will be fully in tact and then we just have to mandate no more than 2 children per family. We'll be fine.
Lets start with your wife & kids. Oh, you didn't mean to include your family in that 60% reduction did you.
Of course not. They would be vaccinated. Relax, Rhino. It was dark humor. Incidently, my wife and I have one child, and we have agreed not to have any more than one. Planet resources and all that.
You're definitely a little slow. Ever hear about radioactive waste? There still is no real solution for spent fuel rods. They just keep being moved around. With increased nuclear power growth, you can guarantee an accident happening soon.
Yeah, except that objects in space sometimes fall back to Earth. I don't think that a man-made radioactive meteorite would be a very good thing. Not to mention the cost of that. They are going to have to find a safe way of recycling/reusing the waste in some form. I don't think that storage or disposal is a very good solution either.
