InfiniteTopHat User ID: 1723760 United States 12/26/2012 08:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, nuclear power is perfectly safe... Until the containment vessels crack open. They say its safe because of it's redundant security, people fail to realize how dangerous it is; it's so dangerous it needs redundant security. We need to go to a cleaner energy with less dangerous resources. There's plenty of other energy production methods; geo-thermal, wind, hydro, ethanol, hydro-thermal, solar, etc. We just need to remove funding from war and all these entitlement programs to seriously research them. 5*'s and green karma for you OP!

Bowyn Aerrow User ID: 28433574 United States 12/26/2012 08:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | no need to do that, just need to find safer ways to generate power. its stupid to have such a huge risk hanging over our heads List the other ways. Coal? Most coal has uranium in it - when burnt the uranium goes up with the smoke and get spread around the world. [link to www.scientificamerican.com] Shall we burn more coal? Dams kill fish. Salmon are on the way out, why? Because we dammed up their rivers. Several species of salmon are extinct, with more on the endangered list. And sadly its not just the salmon that are dying, salmon were (past tense) one of the key stones of how the ecology of most of the pacific northwest operated, their swimming up stream brought nutrients which were carried around by bears and deposited all over. The loss of those nutrients lead to devastating changes in ecology which has lead to contemporary tree (forest) die offs due to disease because those trees were no longer getting those nutrients. [link to www.google.com] Start reading. Here is the terrible truth, there is no replacement for nuclear power that is less dangerous than nuclear power. Each potential 'alternative' carries with it its own set of risks and devastation to the environment. Solar power cells - sorry, the materials needed to make cheap solar cells is deadly to the environment, and the by product of manufacturing does more damage per year than all of the nuclear 'accidents' we have seen to date. [link to www.google.com] Wind - those magnets that make the generation possible are hard to get off and release thorium - oddly enough rare earth metals are often all but saturated with thorium. Thorium is radioactive. Processing of those rare earth metals include chemicals which cause cancer - you are more likely to develop cancer living next to a rare earth magnet factory than you are next to a nuclear power plant. [link to www.pbs.org] Thorium: [link to www.google.com] Anyway you want to slice the 'problem' of power as in replacing was to produce power, you end up hitting deadly consequences. When you start really looking at these technologies, you discover that the impact of even the primative solid fuel fission reactors poise less risks and dangers than solar cells and wind - which are considered 'green' and 'sustainable'. The only way to actually do the energy thing and not harm or have a huge risk factor is for everyone to cut back on energy usage. But we all know that ain't gonna happen. Hopefully (and if you looked at thorium) we will move toward using thorium reactors in the near future. This suddenly makes the use of wind power less radioactive (as in we are using the waste which is thorium of mining rare earths). But since its really, really hard to build bombs with thorium reactors, we most likely won't see that for a long time to come.

InfiniteTopHat User ID: 1723760 United States 12/26/2012 08:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Any idea where to put the hundreds of thousands of ton extremely radioactive waste then? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30881614 This would be the hardest part... Currently there is no method of altering radioactive half-life. This radioactive waste has such a long half-life that there isn't a feasible way for us to dispose of it in our lifetime sans jettisoning it into space. Which is an idea I'm kind of against, we don't know what we may piss off sending that stuff off into space or if it'll catch an orbit somewhere and return to fuck us down the road. If this stuff causes so much trouble and is so hard to get rid of don't you agree it is pretty stupid we continue to extract and use it? |
