It is safe to build a nuklear plant here!

Remember these photos when a Puke rolls his eyes up inside his head over nuklear power.

1. Well, I live at the base of a dormant volcano

It could conceivably come roaring back to life. Maybe I should move.

3. That your choice.

And besides, there is no where on this earth that you or anyone else can escape from mother nature. Mother nature is one reason things evolve and adapt the way they do. Try adapting to radiation poisoning.

4. The wonderful thing about the human race

Is that we progress and evolve. Imagine if we'd canceled the space program after Apollo 1. Or if we stopped constructing buildings after the first earthquake took out the first structure.

We take risks and that's why we continue to advance.

7. How rediculous to try and comprare constructing buildings

or the space program to nuclear plants and radiation poisoning. When a nuke goes it potentially affects millions of people for generations.
Part of evolving also includes learning to differentiate between what is the smart way to benefit humanity without destroying it.

Forgive me for saying so but your comparison is just plain dumb!

8. Well, I think it's dumb to take extreme examples

And form public policy around them. If Japan were having 8.9+ earthquakes every decade, they probably wouldn't have built the damned plants. It's like saying it's too dangerous to allow New Orleans to exist because there is the possibility that another Cat 5 hurricane will strike the city in the next thousand years.

9. Considering the activity of this living planet

It's ignorant to imagine that a nuke plant anywhere on earth would be all-safe. By your own observations and acknowledgment of just how hostile planet earth is it surprises me that you are a nuke supporter.

Things that make me go.... hmmmmmm.

2. I guess you weren't paying attention

When the pro-nukers were insisting on the numerous layers of fail-safe measures nukes plants have. The chances of anything really bad happening are nearly impossible. Why doesn't everyone take them at their word and believe them :shrug:

:sarcasm:

Yea and "WE" (anti's) are the idiots :eyes:

5. Ask Yourself These Questions

How many nuclear plants are located near all the West Coast fault lines?

What is their Richter scale capacity to resist damage? (I think I read that the Japan reactors were proofed to 8.0 only, but it's been a blur the last couple days)

If the foremost experts on earthquake preparedness are OUT OF CONTROL and near a possible meltdown of reactors with 100 times the power capacity of Chernobyl, how prepared do you think the bankrupt state of California is?

6. the big 4 sources of energy

Edited on Sun Mar-13-11 12:15 AM by TheWebHead

all have inherent risks, and DU alternates in bitching about all four with varying degrees of intensity at various points when something goes wrong. of course they bitch sitting in their heated homes, logged into their electrically powered computers while watching their TVs and cooking their food, that is when they aren't driving their cars.
