I hope i havent touched on a subject that gets me into trouble with too many here...
It has become a passionate subject for me over the years and i feel i may be doing the right thing by bringing it up now..I am not an advocate of some thing so devastating to our world and would welcome any one wanting to know why i dont support it.. I have looked into this subject for the past 20 years and have yet seen anything that is environmentally friendly.. The heat waste from a nuclear power station is so damaging to the environment that if it was really looked at the they would start shutting them down.. In the US these monstrocities have caused total loss of some of the best fishing grounds in the US and cheasepeake bay alone is nearly destroyed as a fishing ground when at one time it could have fed the US easily.. The other issue is how long will uranium last, the ore is only available in australia and canada, other sites in the world dont have a higher enough grade of ore suitable for use and the ore that is available in not in enough quantities to support the present power stations let alone the required ones that world would need to go nuclear.. I f the funding was put into solar and wind, then we would have solar panels on every roof in australia, with the government being able to pay a majority of the cost easily..
another thing that makes me laugh is when i get told that solar air conditioning is not feasible, (what happens if it rains for a week), well really! who wants air con when its raining...
anyway, anybody feels they want to discuss this please do, and i promise i will try to put up a good argument, and a polite one...i think to debate with politeness will go further than to jump on a high horse and try to ram in peoples throats..
