ahh, research..i really think the nuclear reactor should have stayed in the research phase till all aspects of the process had been proven and developed correctly...
I am not against the idea being a solution but its not the solution that people think it is.. at this stage it is as ecologically damaging as burning coal and then on top of that, the waste is here for 10,000+ years...its not for 1,000 years but tens of thousands...the decay of the waste does not get less dangerous but increase in its danger for 20,000 years...and i dont know about you guys but my childrens children will be here and there children will be, and logically we should consider the consequences of our actions now...you cant change the past and you cant just say "well it wasnt for me to worry about as tomorrow never comes"...thats not true and any body in this world should remember that...
A lot of researchers would love to have access to some of the research money that has been put into nuclear energy and some of them dont need much to prove there inventions...
Hitler during world war 2 decide that if a project was not viable in a short period of time then it would get no more support..well we know that he lost the war, but go read about the projects he left by the wayside...we could all be saluting his victory by now...is it way politics is going right now...install nuclear power because it is here now but forget the projects that may prove nuclear power as a waste...just give them the dole and tell them to go away we are not interested..
I am thinking of the future not just 20 or 50 years but way beyond my life expectancy...all this use of nuclear power is not real smart, considering we really have no idea of the long term concequences to our planet...
At the end of the day, the greenies have been a pain but where i live, the farmers are very green in there ways..ok they believe in cutting down trees and so do i..why, because you can grow another...steel leaves a big hole in the ground so why use it...we have enough waste on this planet and need to learn to recycle that..not produce more waste we cant do anything with...
