... Would it be so bad? I mean one nuclear power station can power a hell of a lot of homes. It wouldn't take too much effort to find enough places where...
Paul, You're overlooking the politically correct, environmentalist wacko point of view. To them, we need to go back to the stone age, give up modern ...
It's not like nuclear power stations are particularly noisy and you're safer living near one than living near a cell-phone tower. What exactly am I missing? P ...
Bill: You're overlooking the politically correct, environmentalist wacko point of view. To them, we need to go back to the stone age, give up modern ...
... And even when they're not, in most cases. How many nuclear power disasters have we had in all these years that we've had plants? But there have been as...
Peter, And how many used to die during the old coal burning days, when London used to be black with soot? How many people died in France during this past...
... The problem is that there's never going to be anything more efficient than nuclear power - it requires very little and gives out a hell of a lot. If they...
... Absolutely right, but if we don't admit that we need it and look into the safest way to produce it NOW then we're going to end up with no choice. Already...
We cannot use Chernobyl to justify not using nuclear power for ever. Our needs move on and technology moves on. Mark: Oh, so because it shouldn't have...
... To be fair, Bill, there has been a very good scientific case made that people living closer to the power-plants and particularly downwind of the plant were...
... Seriously, Mark, I know a lot of environmentalists who are in favour of nuclear power. They all have a science background. Trust me, these things are (or...
Paul, My only point is - there's a lot of things that cause cancer. Of them, exposure to nuclear power is probably the least of problems. -- Bill Highfield St...
Mark, Let's hear your alternative. Do we burn oil? natural gas? What? Don't give me some pie in the sky "what if" scenario, I mean right now. We need power...
Oh my! Do you really have to bring everything back to that? The rich and wealthy will be rich and wealthy whichever form of power we use. That's just the...
Bill: But it's nice to see your socialist/communist tendancies come out in a discussion on power. Mark: Odd how you begin with that accusation and end with: ...
... And of course it is, but it's not a good argument against nuclear fuel :) ... Sure, but there's nothing wrong with grumbling about safety while accepting ...
... Dammit. I knew something was niggling me about Windscale; I almost googled it but I thought it was the one I'd seen used as an example for the downwind ...
Real research into nuclear fuel and good educated arguments can lead us to good safe efficient alternative to what we have now. Other kinds of research may...
Nuclear plants are, well, spanking clean, but there are two problems. The first is that of nuclear waste. It just keeps building up and is very hard to dispose...
Mark, What's better than nuclear energy that is as reliable and cost efficient? Don't come back with solar energy, or windmills. Neither is at a point where...
Again, we're talking NOW, not "someday". I have a sneaky suspicion that you'd prefer it if we didn't make the power, and if it forced society to go back to a...
... Well... We could throw up a very nice Solar Power Satellite system with off-the-shelf technology relatively easily, and at a reasonable cost. The ...
In and of themselves I agree they aren't bad (or at least not worse than the other forms of energy). But they need good management. There have been some...
Do you know what this site is about or how to get rid of it? http://www.surferbar.com/surf/?surferbar I recommend you use Opera or Netscape to view it. My IE...
