[/b] :lol: You can't just shut them off....you have to build a replacement power source and phase out the nukes. ....which should be done GLOBALLY. [/quote] Ok, well whatever, then I hope that's what happens! [/quote] Gawd. :lol: Think it through next time. :putin: [/quote] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1389008] The notion that you pay less for electricity because it comes from a nuclear power plant is BS. The fact is you pay the same price as if it was a coal, water driven, Geo-thermo plant. Actually since tax dollars in the millions go to the nuke plant owners to compensate them for storage of fuel rods every year, we all pay more for nuclear power. [/quote] [b]I know I'm going to sound like an idiot here, but I honestly do not know how that all works[/b], but agree that alternatives other then nuclear power should be used. Especially in light of what is going on in Japan, and now Nebraska.....it's scary and sickening... [/quote] Finally....someone honest and admits they don't know. Congrats! :applause2: You have the potential to learn and are not a typical GLP tard. :thumbs: Yes....you are right....time for alternative before we destroy ourselves. [b]For now....the best way forward is to use the clean coal plants and create MASSIVE incentives to have every home equipped with solar panels.[/b] The Solar incentives should be made SO cheap that you would be a fool not to equip your house with them.
