Nukes have their problems, but the problems from fossil fuel use are greater. I used to be anti-nuclear until it became clear that GW is the greater threat. It's the only thing with enough capacity to really make a difference.
Actually the article i posted specifically says that this loon was a part of some "ANTI Occupy movement," No one tried to make a connection to the OWS crowd except you, infact the article i posted actually makes the complete opposite point of what you are claiming it does. Can you read?
When I look at Chernobyl and Fukushima I find it impossible to advocate nuclear power. Could a race of perfect beings use nuclear power safely? Yes. Can humans? No. The truth is we're fucked no matter what energy source we use.
you wonder who in their right minds could ever advocate more nuclear power. we are storing the waste in pools on site. its insane. So Cal suffers very real fukushima risk.
Thorium/ molten salt, the Chinese will implement it first. Their energy needs will force them to quit screwing around and just do it.
I have read about thorium reactors... I need to learn more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium Okay.. now I know why REE was an interesting stock a while ago. (my best percentage gain in years.)
