Actually, I did support nukular energy until I realized that's actually
much more polluting as far as carbon goes. Lots of people, including me,
forgot about all the mining, refining, processing required. It's not a
panacea, and it's only clean at the end of the process (not really though
if you think about the long-term storage requirements for the spent fuel
rods).

I would certainly support fusion, but that's still many decades away.


I love the nuclear arguments. The NIMBYs' scream no. The safety crowd
says no. The what do you do with the waste crowd says no.

And all the time there are scores of nuclear warships in or near every
major US port.

Fortunately, they don't dump their waste in ports. I like New Zealand's
policy (not sure if it's changed). They don't allow NPowered ships in their
ports.

NZ banned nuclear ships and weapons from their waters. At one time this
meant every US Navy warship was banned from NZ waters. How could a naval
reactor dump any nuclear waste at all? They are self contained 2 stage
systems.

What is so hilarious is that the SUN IS NUCLEAR POWERED (fusion and fisiion)
and the WASTE PRODUCTS of these reactions are SPEWED AT THE EARTH and HEAT
the EARTH. Exposure to the sun is over 1000 times more deadly than the
exposure to working nuclear power plants.

Over 10,000 Americans a year die from the effects sun exposu

World wide we're looking at about 100,000 deaths annually, that makes about
a million people per decade. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed
about 150,000. 30-40 were killed at Chernobyl.

Solar power - the most deadly form of energy!

Kills more than gas, oil, coal and nuclear combined!!

The sun is also heating the earth, the earth is getting hotter to the point
of killing all life!!

It would take one heck of a lot of atomic bombs to wipe out all life. There
have been well over 1,000 atmospheric nuclear bomb tests since 1945 and the
earth's population is still growing unchecked!!

Jon Boy is a liberal. Talking to him is like talking to a bump on a log.

Liberals - the most deadly form of ignorance!
