Nuclear power's risks are extremely more dangerous than either coal or oil: A)the population and land is seriously affected even if they are thousands of miles away;B)its "pollution" last from decades to thousands of years, making the land uninhabitable;C)populations have to be immediately evacuated unlike oil;D)there is daily low-level leakage from "working" nuclear plants that are dangerous to the DNA etc.<br />All this said, when there are other options that have no serious "side effects" like wind and solar, why are we not using them like other countries that show it works, instead of relying on nuclear? As you stated, we do not have a serious plan.johnlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-54785581240908035262011-03-23T20:37:02.022-04:002011-03-23T20:37:02.022-04:00Ditto what mindRider wrote.Ditto what mindRider wrote.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-21126113354502888022011-03-23T16:29:32.448-04:002011-03-23T16:29:32.448-04:00There's no doubt the tree huggers will attempt...There's no doubt the tree huggers will attempt to drive a stake through the heart of nuclear power. And it's not a bad idea to have a thorough inspection of our existing plants in light of what's happened. But people need to take 3 deep breaths and remember that this is the 3rd major accident in the industry's history, all released radiation into the atmosphere. Guess what...we're all still here. We learn from our mistakes, and the Japanese better than anybody will learn from theirs, recover, and move on. What happened in Japan was a failure of imagination not design, nuclear power is no more danderous than any other energy source. If that were the case all 6 of those reactors would have gone into an uncontrolled meltdown. And that hasn't happened.noboat1http://noboat1@cusewire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-69615641959704311482011-03-23T16:10:25.507-04:002011-03-23T16:10:25.507-04:00Hopefully in real life you hold a job whereby you ...Hopefully in real life you hold a job whereby you have the opportunity to educate & enlightening people just like you do in your blogs.

One gets the feeling it's not too many years away. Only then may it become possible for a critical mass of citizens to begin acting like adults and take their future into their hands.<br /><br />There is the possibility that it is already too late.Dan Leenoreply@blogger.com
