The next time a Puke says nuklear power is safe

ask if he'd like to help in the clean up in Japan.........

the worst?

don't wanna think

Just kidding.

that he had to get right now on a jet to Japan and hang out at the nuke plants because they're just fine.

:grr:

who say things in their professional capacities?

A plant that might meltdown is not a plant that is just fine.

Anyone who says anything less than "we are all already horribly dead" here the past couple of days gets accused of claiming everything's perfectly fine.

It's about the financial system but there are also "experts" in the scientific community that are equally corrupt.

He was saying in no uncertain terms, without being there, without being privvy to real information, that it was perfectly fine there.

From an 8.9 magnitude earthquake.

I'm pretty pro nuclear power. It has a relatively low environmental impact when compared to other forms of power production (that's production rather than farming ie:solar/wind) and we can use it to provide power for the entire planet today. 4th gen reactors and the kind that Bill Gates is helping to develop are even less potentially dangerous in the event of a failure because of the type of fuel they use.

On the other hand, the idea of a power plant that can result in a practically unusable tract of land in the event of a catastrophic failure is hard to stomach. The clear exception to this is that the failure was caused by a fucking tsunami and 8.9 earthquake, not exactly something that can be thrown around so cavalierly to try and win an argument, not much will ever be built if your standard is that it must survive an 8.9 earthquake and 30 ft tsunami without any seriously functional damage.

Nope... will never be to my standard.

And a step away from fossil fuel.

You can talk trash about nuclear power all you want. But if you conceptualize the amount of natural and human devastation brought about by fossil fuel consumption, you should realize that the cost of not exploiting nuclear energy is much greater.

Keep on believing that!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

The control of fossil fuels is what gives the oil and coal companies their ability to dictate both domestic and foreign policy of the US and other countries.

The cost and large scale engineering of nuclear reactors enables the large energy corporations to maintain a tight grip on the world economy. The push to commit to nuclear is designed to enable even more concentration of the economy in their control.

Solar and wind power generation enable decentralization of energy production and usage.

Japan's experience shows that there is no way to design a nuclear power plant that is immune to catastrophic failure.

The best way to prevent a Chernobyl-type disaster is not to build any more nuclear plants.

As far as global climate change, it is already too late to change the damage by switching to nuclear energy. The auto companies are still building and selling more gas guzzlers than fuel efficient cars.

Several states with Republican governors have turned down federal funds allocated to expanding mass transit such as high speed rail.

As for the numbers alleged to demonstrate the safety of nuclear power, the famous quote: "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." comes to mind.

Ooops...
