If America developed a distributed power generation system, solar/wind stored with efficient electrolysis, converted back from Hydrogen with fuel cells, to do otherwise is to condemn future generations to dealing with these nightmares.
PLEASE tell me what happens if things go south in the next 1,000 years and no one is maintaining these plants? Really, it's very selfish, such EXTREME greed/myopia, because nuclear waste is the gift that keeps on giving!
wait, which Georgia is this talking about? the headline picture shows the country?
I have no problem with the nuclear program, but if we are giving $8billion to another countries energy program using tax money then I do have a problem with it...
Let's work towards a REAL Green power future, and stop building these terrorist/environmental threats around the world!
If they include the astronomical cost of storing the waste for centuries and centuries (subsidized by the taxpayers for nuclear corporations), is it really cheap energy?
Seems to me, it's really kind of SELFISH (at the very least), we use the energy now, and "by the way, future humans, would you mind taking care of our glowing deadly waste for a REALLY long time? Thanks!"
It doesn't "glow" and there are no clicking (Geiger counter) sounds for that matter!
A little literary license has got your panties in a bunch?
The nuclear industry is condemning future generations to storehouse their nuclear shit (Think: Medusa's outhouse) so they can reap the profits now. How much DOES it cost to store that dangerous waste for centuries and centuries, and why does the nuclear industry SPIN their processes as being "GREEN"?
@HalcyonicRepose like i said if you really believe it glows that shows how much you really know, and what do you want, green energy, what is that? wind, solar, hydro? all those sources have massive downfalls too. also something to keep in mind, the biggest npp in usa makes 4000mw, and it only produces about 40 tons of waste everytime they switch rods, which is about every 2 to 2and a half years. so put that in your pipe and smoke that hippie.
Since you didn't read my reply why bother replying to it?
Only 40 tons of nuclear waste every 2 1/2 years at one big plant, how much is produced in all of America annually? The world? Hopefully we can put America's waste in Yucca Mountain, but if not, what then??
It is robbing Peter (future generations having to deal with this horrible toxic legacy) to pay Paul (supposedly "cheap" & "clean" energy today, it is neither), end of story!
Did everybody forget about wind power? Lmao, life as we know it is done, sand in your hand. We got robbed by mafioso and now they're taking off into space with our spoils. Drug dealing pirates.
i agree chuck,i work in a coal generating station localy ,,and people do not know how dirty or how poluting they are untill you have actualy been htere,a "nuke" is like working in a hospital!!...clean,go in in your street clothes,leave in your street clothes....not dirty at all,and very safe.
omg seriously all my heart for them but that just frustrates me that these ppl can come up with the worlds smartest technology but when it comes to something that can potentionly ruin us all they came up with hell of a fail GOD BLESS ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY THIS.N BTW last i heard japan got screwed by atom energy so for all u nuclear energy is safe are u for real morons?
Give me ten minutes with this guy and I'd take him apart.
1. Tritium has a half life of only 12 years and is a isotobe of hydrogen so naturally its near impossible to completely contain. But then as its hydrogen it harmlessly rising into the upper atmosphere (way above the ozone layer to beyond where the space station orbits)
2. Didnt he just say the nuclear industry cant get funding for plants and then contradict himself saying they have a tremendous amount of money?
@jordanreeseyre 3. nuclear power is not a waste compared to solar and wind power. I live in britain one of the windiest countries in the world and to meet our current energy demands we'ed need to cover an area alost as large as irland in wind turbines. And a third of our days are overcast.
4. spewing heat? doesnt this man realise that all power generation works off spewing heat to boil steam to drive turbines.
What a nut job! I see his lights are nice and bright..where's the guy on the generator bike? all he see's is the electric car.. not the lead in the batteries! Obama said prior to his election that he would not turn his head to Nuc power! this Focken guy tells his minions that solor panels are grown on trees!!! why cant people like this find the middle of the road.. His efforts would be better serverd in China seas chugging around in a diesel sucking boat blowing tons of waist in the air!
out of your league. Study calculus, differential equations, classical physics, quantum mechanics, and relativity--the real math--what is real, and proven. Yes theories are changing and evolving, but there is a method to that- people publish their work, and everyone tries to prove it wrong. If the scientifc community cannot prove it wrong, then it is accepted as a theory until someone proves it wrong by real data and experimentation.I'm not going to argue with you ever again. you are beyond me.
Halleluliah... I have just got you to admit that Global Warming & Climate Change are the biggest issue of our day!!
The 'theory' of carbon gasses causing Global warming has been proved over 150 years & the 'consensus' amongst 99.99% of the Climatologists is that it is happening NOW!
We don't have the TIME or the resources to mess around building MORE polluting toxic power stations
We need renewables NOW!
As for my profile
I was wondering have you had a sense of humour lobotomy?
cont.. and if you knew ANYTHING about nuclear waste you wouldn't be so smug about how 'safe' you think it is to our 'ecology'.
DU is extremely toxic & shouldn't even be let into the environment AT ALL (let alone shot out of weapons) nor should most of the other 'low-level' waste products that come out the nuclear industry!
As for fissile material.. well thats just mass murder waiting to happen!!
Renewables are CLEAN & non-toxic & can be replaced without damaging the environment.. & they WORK!
cont. and that just isn't myself speaking-that is the consensus of the scientifc community. You are obviously a person that knows little about physics, yet tries to argue about it. I don't try to argue things i know nothing about-like economics. ecology, biology, ect. because I don't know much about those things. Its better to say "I don't know" than act like you do-how else can one learn? Nothing I have stated is false, and please don't try to talk to me about particle collisions-that is way
cont. Which is something you refer to in regard to observable effects in fluid flow on large quantities of fluid on different hemispheres. On the large scale, you are mixing electromagnetism and mechanics principles. The corialis force is due to the rotation of the planet, (mechanics) which would not change due to magnetic polarity switching (electromagnetism). Further, you are applying it to subatomic particles which react VERY LITTLE to classical mechanics principles such as gravity.
if i was full of myself, i would not have stated that I don't think i'm smarter than you, i just have more experience with what we are talking about. Further, Nassim Haramein is a metaphysics/mystic dude who is just out to get your money for his DVD's. His 'unified feild theory' is not published by a scientific journal, and uses a whole bunch of crazy assumptions without bases like you do. If he had a unified field theory he would have a nobel prize! It isn't real physics!
Occupation:Parent Friend Eco-Philosopher Artist Musician
Also, he has a "eco-philosopher theory" about 2012...its a great read..... but seriously, go check it out, it's hilarious.
this therefore dismisses any notion that this person may have a scientific, emperical approach to anything, so i wouldn't take anything this person says seriously.
@ejbh3160 I'm not a nuclear engineer, i'm a mechanical engineer, but I do have extensive on reactor theory from my training at work. I'm glad you know your subject. I would not claim to know anything about ecology because that is not my background, but you seem perfectly fine with spreading a bunch a bullshit about nuclear energy. This whole argument started because I read your previous comments that state complete lies-I know they are lies becasue of my profession and my experience.
@nmayhewku.. TO QUOTE YOU... "I utilize it as a engineer at a nuclear power plant"
You are a lying shill for the fosil fuel & nuclear industry!!
If you gave a damn about other "engineers" you would support 'alternatives' to fosil fuels & nukes.. because there are 10 JOBS in 'Renewables', per ONE job in the nuke industry!
The problems on this planet come from putting all our eggs in one basket! Nukes are even WORSE than fosil fuels in that respect!
@ejbh3160 what have I lied about exactly? Just because someone works in an industry doesn't mean there is some magical mystery conspiracy behind their every word. Its not like I get paid to argue with your "eco-philosopher", know it all attitude. Where do you get these numbers? how does my carrer decision effect any other engineer-isn't everyone free to do what they want? Renewables are advancing just fine, and there are plenty of people taking jobs in renewable energy-and thats a good thing!
@ejbh3160 it was an interesting video, and certainly eye-opening. There are some good ideas on this video, but I do think SOME, not all of the numbers they throw out are a bit glorified. To get some of these numbers they spit out, would require matematical modeling with a lot of assumptions-I would like to see those assuptions. I do agree that more money should be invested in renewable research, and I don't like the idea of spending that much more on nuclear, because it isn't the whole answer.
@ejbh3160 what his childish is that you have an "idea" that subatomic particles are going to change spin in 2012 when passing accross the"equator"of the milky way.You even refer to toilet drain flow that is opposite on different hemispheres-this is NOT true. The"spin"in drains is mostly dependent on flow mechanics. The Coriolis force on earth, due to how slowly the earth turns as a reference frame in respect to it's mass an the mass of the water, is not strong enough for this effect.
Oh so the ocean currents & the weather in the Southern hemisphere all go the same way as the Nothern hemisphere eh?? LOL!! Fool! And water DOES go down the plughole the opposite way in the Southern hemisphere (FACT!)
I lived there & I've SEEN it with my own lying eyes!
But what's all this got to do with nuclear waste? Oh yes you couldn't win the argument so you started in with ad hominem attacks on me.
@ejbh3160 did I say the ocean currents or weather? No, they are large enough for this for the Corialis force-due to earth's rotation to become apparent. Actually there is no winning this argument, you keep saying the same sort of crap over and over again without any logical bases. I made fun of your 2012 "idea" because it is the most retarded thing I have ever read, of course it has nothing to do with nuclear waste.
@nmayhewku its a psychological FACT that when people know they are losing an argument they resort to 'Ad Hominem' attacks (look it up)
The polarity spin is less 'obvious' on the equator itself & you have to go a few miles North or South before its 'noticable'.
My 'theory' used the 'observation' of the 'polarity effect' on water to postulate that there may be a similar 'effect' on sub-atomic particles if/when the solar system crosses over the galactic 'equator'.. its still a 'reasonable' theory.
@ejbh3160 no, it is not a reasonable "idea" and it is certainly not a theory- interesting, yes, but not possible (i've taken quantum mechanics, have you?). Also, i don't give a damn about phychology. I went to read your page to get a feel for who i'm wasting all this time arguing with-it was clear as day that you are basing all of your arguments on hearsay, not actual experience with commercial energy. Just know I don't think i'm smarter than you-I just don't think you know any proven FACTS.
@nmayhewku "wasting time" eh? so why continue to argue? My arguments are sound regarding renewables & I've actually done LOADS of research into their viiability (in the past.. not now as I'm disabled).
As for 'quantum mechanics'... well then you know that EVERY particle has 'spin'.
Planets have 'polarity' which can flip.. Stars have 'polarity' which can flip...
Its a reasonable 'theory' to suggest sub-atomic particles could have a 'polarity flip' under certain circumstances...
@ejbh3160 nope. Spin of subatomic particles is an attribute of the particle, just as is mass or electric charge. We don't even really know if they are "spinning". It is basically a property that is observable statistically, and has similarities to anuglar momentum in terms of its vector properties. Things on the quantum level are much different than the large scale, such as stars and planets. Magnetic polarity can flip, which has nothing to do with the corialis force due to rotating bodies.
sub-atomic particle 'spin' is a well established idea & in fact the way we observe sub-atomic particles is in 'atomic accelerators' & we observe the 'trail' left by smashing particles together.. & what we observe is spiral patterns. This alone suggests that all particles have 'spin'. And seeing as everything else in the Universe is spinning I would say its 'resonable' to suggest that this applies at the sub-atomic level.
i wonder if he is against bananas, upon digestion you will recieve probably about as much dose as from tritium from your local friendly nuclear power station...omg!!!! :)
You don't know the difference between building a power plant & then having to FEED it with toxic polluting fuel forever & building a power plant which runs off CLEAN renewable 'energy from nature' (like geo-thermal, wind or sun)
@ejbh3160 where did this conclusion come from??? I am aware of how much fuel we put in the reactor every refuel - 80 to 83 assemblies depending on the cycle, and how the reactor is behaving under operation compared to the core design model. Again, you assume I'm not for renewables. I am, other than commercial wind-it should be consumer based and subsidized. Your assumptions are based on absolutely NOTHING. Just because someone is pro-nuclear does not mean they hate renewables.
@nmayhewku "Just because someone is pro-nuclear does not mean they hate renewables"
actually yes it does!
No economy on this planet can afford to do BOTH! Countries that have chosen to 'invest' in nukes don't have the RESOURCES or the MONEY to build sufficient 'Renewables' to do the job (& then they point to renewables saying they aren't good enough)
Nothing wrong with Off-Shore wind arrays! In the UK if we developed ALL the off-shore potential it would produce THREE times what the UK uses now!
@ejbh3160 its not that renewables are not good enough...there is a demand for energy. What renewable, with present technology can sustain a constant 1265 MWe output like the unit I work at? In the summer months, our energy company is running its one nuclear plant at full, all coal plants at full, allowing all the wind energy generated into the grid (makng just 5% of total demand!!!) and they still have to buy power from other utilities at peak hours just to keep up! Facts are facts.
a) we cut down on USE (low energy recyclable long-lasting products.. because most energy is used MAKING the product!) Good insulation so we don't waste energy!
b) we don't put all our eggs in one or two baskets. No SINGLE renewable can do the job all the time (but most nukes are down about 20% of the time too!!), but a wide mix of different renewables (AND FREE ENERGY from your own roof!!) plus energy saving CAN do the job! Especially if we produce CHP near to consumers too!
Stupid tree huggers is right! A nuclear power plant can't "leak" I mean the amount of tritium that is given off is infinitesimal and trace amounts are found in the waste. As a nuclear power plant designer I can say that this guy is full of it. Another thing to consider is that a nuclear power plant creates a few thousand jobs just to run the damn thing; it also takes a few thousand to build it so I'm pretty sure the tax dollars that are spent are returned many times over.
All you hippie fucks and fags still riding Gores dick, please direct your attention to " Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide" by ARTHUR B. ROBINSON, NOAH E. ROBINSON, ANDWILLIE SOON
any energy production creates wastes, might as well have nuclear energy producing steam into the atmosphere and carefully handled radioactive waste than a shitload of smoke from coal and oil.
There is an alternative to smoke from oil & coal! Look up geo-thermal energy.. or Bloom Box.. or solar water heaters or PV from 'chlorophyll' or 'nano-solar' or Off-shore wind arrays... etc etc etc
How about just 'insulation' & using 'low-energy' 'recyclable' products?
Harvey Wasserman - I've locked horns with him a few times but the bastard refuses to ever debate me publicly. He's completely full of shit. it's no "Bailout{" and this bastard lies whenever he talks.
@chuckeieio Both of those energy resources are destroying the environment you fool, if the entire ozone layer burns away, it is because of resources like that, and with the ozone gone the ultraviolet rays will burn us all or worse!
@chuckeieio Wow you REALLY don't know how nuclear power plants work. Especially the amount of radioactive "hot" (or heavy water). 90,000 gallons every 3 weeks is generated and is stored in 55 gallon drums, with a life expectancy of 75 years. after which the drums leak and now we have 10,000 year radioactive hot water going where? Think stupid, this is a check we will never be able to cover.
@chuckeieio You obviously don't understand the issues re: mining, enriching, using and disposing of waste involved in generating electricity via nuclear power plants.
@chuckeieio Who care's about the comparison Einstien.... producing nuclear energy is NOT safe in the only world we liuve in as you can plainly see. you brain dead life hater.
The Price Anderson Act is required because you can't predice meltdowns, only 2 occured so far. Have you already tried to plot a probalistic curve with 2 points ??
In assurance, the field where I do study, you can't sell any assurance which cover a risk which inst extensively known. That's why all assurances have no liability versus terrorism, you can't predic that, no assurance wanna cover that risk.
'Nuf said? Am I to understand that if we stop using nuclear power that this will somehow prevent Iran from developing weapons? How will that happen exactly?
Where's this green guy going to get Gigawatt's of power from.
Green peace and the like are great with the ideals but they are asses and never answers any proper questions like what about the use of thorium or developments in Molten Carbon fuel cells. wind and solar have many issues and little power per terminal and yes there are solutions for the waste.
Screw green peace they never answer the real questions and expect you to do everything their ideological way without really going into detail.
Right back at you freak but Waste can be dealt with even though it isn't always dealt with well at the moment, Although your local detail is relevant it does not override the need to still investigate the technology and especially less hazardous Technologies like potential Thorium or Molten Carbon Fuel cells and my complaint was about divine ideologies being touted over the world where real stuff goes on and real detail need to be thought through.
Harvey Wasserman is a paranoid clown, he also claimed to be certain that the Bush administration would "cancel" the election in both 2004 and 2008 and assume total power, how'd that turn out Harv? The fact that anyone could take him seriously regarding the science and economics of power generation blows my mind.
@wildchildplasma theres a book called "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight"
Read it & you'll get your answers!
We HAVE TO change or we won't survive what's coming!
The only reason the planet CAN support 6 billion people is because of OIL.
When the oil runs out (within 100 years) there will be global starvation on a scale NEVER seen before! Your children & grandchildren deserve a future too!
What we need to do to use the fosil fuels to convert to a 'sustainable' global civilisation for the future!
@ejbh3160 listen i know you can read your ignorant little books but i work in the utility business and see how much things really cost and how much the really produce
So you have a vested self-interest as well as a 'conflict-of-interests'!
So yours is hardly an 'impartial' opinion eh?
Besides I wasn't talking to YOU in this comment (it was aimed @wildchildplasma NOT you) & the book I suggested is a very well researched book with loads of DATA & FACTS & SCIENCE backing up every word not an "ignorant little book" (& you haven't read it & so have no right to comment on its contents one way or another)
Tritium is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of hydrogen which the nucleus contains 1 proton and 2 neutrons, it decays as a beta emitter. It is produced in small quantities in the upper atmosphere where it is incorporated into water
molecules and, therefore, present in rainwater and surface recharge to aquifer systems.
It has a half-life of 12.3 years. It is also produced as a by product in nuclear power generation. The legal limit for drinking water is 20,000 picocurie per liter and while levels higer than this have been found on nuclear sites As of this date I have yet to see any nulear sites in the country that have found elevated tritium outside the owner controlled area.
They are using scare tactics and half truths to bury an industry that every one of you uses. Turn your lights off and then you can protest where the power comes from.
How cant you understand, that stopping the nuclear reactor is impossible today. Have you been studyibg at school?
In short
The reason is that once you've started the reaction you can't stop it or avoid producing nuclear wastes. And the cost of utilisation of the nuclear wastes (if even possible) with our technology is far beyond of all the profits of already built nuclear plants.
So, I think that the President is just trying to win some time.
well being intelligent doesn't mean it's always good.Becouse if you are intellegent,you can either do it in a good way where it helps people and the world,or do it in a way without realizing that this will have serious consequnces on people and on the world.
What is a passive solar heater or PV or mini-hydro, or tidal power etc etc? Once you have built the aparatus, the 'fuel' is FREE & non-polluting from natural sources like ground-heat, tide, wind or sun... but with the added benefit of ZERO toxic emissions!
@ejbh3160 yeah but to build enough solar panels, wind turbines and tidal powerstations would send electric bills sky high, and also anything thats going into the ocean is going to need alot of maintance, these technology's dont produce much power, and for some reason everyone thinks these new energy producers arent polluting, what about all the oil and grease needed to protect all the moving parts,
We could easily put at least 2 types of 'renewable' energy on every home. Also mass production brings prices DOWN & introduces 'competition' for better products & creates new jobs! What about mag-lev friction-free, ie oil free?
& Solar is solid state.. or water
There are other oils like Hemp which can replace crude
Tidal power is done with 'lagoons' to provide LOCAL hydro-electric power 24/7 & needs much less 'maintainence than nukes or coal power stations
cont.. there is also the FACT that producing energy 'locally' cuts down on transport losses from a mega 'grid' system (which is 10% of all electricity produced)
Coal & nuke simply throw away the hot water after its been used in the turbines, but local CHP units provide hot water to local buildings
Insulation alone could save up to 30% of all the energy we use domestically which is the same as ALL the nukes in the UK + all the ones they plan to build + the two worst coal polluters added together!
@ejbh3160 your very incorrect, they dont throw away the water after use. the steam is condensed back to water and reused over and over again. it would be impractable to do it any other way. this way they dont need to treat new water, rather the steam that is condensed is already in good chemical condition to run through the pipes and turbine. you know nothing of steam production for electricity.
@coalandnuclear LOL!!! You don't understand because you don't WANT TO!
It is YOU who is "incorrect!"
When I say "throw away".. I mean they don't use the hot water for HEATING! The 'ENERGY' is thrown away.
A CHP unit in a town produces electricity closer to where its needed AND it also produces hot water which can be used to heat local hospitals schools old people's homes & public buildings etc
@ejbh3160 you dont understand much, steam travel over long distances loses it value, and steam for heating is generally used under 15 psi, which also limits there abilty to heat. also your chp unit is used in industry level for very small towns that are generally off the main grid, chp are used alot in the midwest in the usa for this reason, they are not used for utility because they cant produce as much power without cost sky rocketing,
@coalandnuclear chp requires a new 'infrastructure'...your BS about psi is irrelevant. as the hot water is used in hospitals schools etc not the 'steam under pressure'
/watch?v=xfzVQwW_8Jk
Ever heard of 'insulation'? well it can SAVE 30% of ALL domestic energy used today! Solar water heater on EVERY roof would save another 15% nationally
Ever heard of a 'Bloom Box' (it can save 50% of ALL gas used today!)
Ever heard of nano-solar or the new solar panel inks based on chlorophyll??
@ejbh3160 i know you wasnt aiming that one comment at me but it proves m y point, you read books while im out in the field. one thing you dont understand is cost. it cost alot to change, it cost alot to change to something that is less effiecent, these new technogys are very expensive, and they will stay expensive because there not as good as what we all ready have. so they will never get mass produced. you want another example look at the electric car
@coalandnuclear what is needed is a CHANGE in the way we structure our 'infrastructures'
We need energy produced 'locally' (preferably on-site) so we 'save' on High voltage transport losses (then we can design 'goods' to work at lower voltages).
Every home (& business) MUST be insulated & new innovations will save even more
Energy saving products can be designed to save up to 80% of the energy they use today (MORE with LED lightbulbs)
We could EASILY develop a carbon neutral society RIGHT NOW!
I thought you knew what you were talking about.. but clearly NOT!
Apart from PV & fuel-cell technology.. all electricity production is done by heating WATER & driving a 'steam turbine' to drive the coils that generate the electricity.
If it runs on electricity.. its running on STEAM!
The point I made was that 30% of that energy is then thrown away because the hot water isn't USED for a secondary purpose (like heating hospitals schools etc)
@ejbh3160 ur examples are not universal sure there are places in the world that works. But how do u do solar when u have 6 months of night. All thse innovations still require materials, which need to havested. Why do we want to live these limited lives, when .. nuclear = no carbon?.
Solar requires nuclear reactions, lets follow the sun.
@shk9664 yes & coal & nuke power stations need 'resources' to build too.
The difference is that then they continue to need 'fuel' whereas solar gets its fuel for FREE
Nuke fuel is carbon intensive!
For colder climates there's geo-thermal & wind (even burning wood is a recyclable closed system so long as you plant more trees to replace the ones you burn)
A recent study showed that if the OFF-SHORE wind potential of the UK was fully developed, it would provide THREE times the total UK present use!
I've been'researching' this subject since before the internet was invented!
Try doing some 'research' yourself (& I don't mean listening to people you AGREE with on YouTube.. I mean try understanding what people you DON'T agree with are saying.
Nuclear power is a TOTAL waste of money, resources & manpower!! It leaves a toxic waste that will still be here in 250,000 years & we still haven't 'disposed' of ANY waste after 60 years of these things!
@ejbh3160 I in fact have a brain, and I utilize it as a engineer at a nuclear power plant. It is apparent that you have not done good research if you think it is a total waste of money. We produce the cheapest power for our owners-including the initial investment to build the plant. It is people like you that prevent reprocessing in this country, which solves the bulk of your "scary" 250,000 year number. This video is bunk if you knew the level of tritium actually released-pure scare tactics
First its NOT 'cheap'!! Every single reactor on this planet needed Government funding to build! Private corporations would NEVER make money on nuke power! De-comissioning costs are too high & not ONE has been de-comissioned yet! Future 'costs'?
The 'fuel' is extremely polluting to 'mine' & 'process'! Cost? & NO nuke WASTE has been 'safely' disposed of in the 60 years since we started this madness!
unless you count DU weapons & the fluoride in our water!
cont... what is so TOTALLY stupid is we could provide many MORE 'engineering' JOBS (per dollar rubel pound Euro spend) & give people a way to produce most of the energy they use, at HOME for FREE by investing in 'renewable' sources like 'ground-heat', wind, solar water heaters & solar PV instead of nukes.
Even simply spending the money from ONE nuke on 'insulation' & energy saving for every home, would SAVE many times the energy than that nuke would have produced!!
@ejbh3160 I completely agree with energy conservation at home, and clean energy, why are you arguing this? In fact, I'm completely for using and government subsidizing renewable sources at homes, and not subsidizing utilities to do it. I don not agree with your insulation argument, the numbers do not add up. The fact is the amount of energy consumed at peak demand times will ALWAYS be dependent on commercial stations.
@ejbh3160 I am an engineer-get over it. Nuclear, compared to other large generating stations has the lowest fuel cost per kilowatt hour, this is a fact-the energy company that owns the majority of our plant shows this in their financial reports year after year. It does fluctuate based on market conditions for our fuel, but it is always cheapest, and we are a pain in their ass from a regulatory standpoint, but not cost. Further, when did I say it isn't polluting? Why are you arguing this?
First of all RT people are idiots they are showing Georgia in Europe on the report and it should be Georgia in the US. Also, this story is very misleading.
I find it unfortunate that many locations in the world use Nuclear energy as a "solution" to the CO2 "problem" whilst at the same time it is not only expensive, non-renewable but has massive amounts of waste.
The only way to get money out of them is Depleted Uranium, and yet still how does this so called "cheap" energy (which is not cheap at all) make the world a better place? What's even more interesting is the idea that it can lead to a vulnerability to possible terror, even imagined threats.
I do. To me nuclear power plants are an interesting technology, the only problem is finding a way to get rid of the waste. But in the long run, it doesn't affect the environment as much as traditional power production, especially with improving ways of discarding waste. It's a lesser of two evils.
really sad to see america slowly deteriorating like this , the dollar will be next to colapse. they should imeach obuma before he ruins america even more.
I just noticed that EVERYTHING Russia Today reports on America is anti-American! Not necessarily propaganda but everything they report makes America look bad! lol...
America´s infrastructure is decaying and the authorities can´t do a darn thing about it! Look what happened to the Minneapolis bridge! Talk about first world!
SO long for green jobs! Obama is nothing but a BLACK BUSH!
What a fucking hypocrite! they are against Iran´s nuclear program, yet they are in favor of building two nuclear plants in a terrorist state like Georgia!
yea any other country try put a nuclear program are terrorist for usa. and people is so blind they dont judge.but thats cuz the propaganda we are get use to watch.
omg this is soooo funny. is tritium a waste product? chemically, yes. logically, no. tritium can be used in a variety of things. we can use it in scopes control panels, anything that requires light. nuclear energy does have useless waste but it puts out sssssooooo much energy, that smaller countries could collapse if they lost nuclear energy. being in the USA, we have plenty of things for nuclear fuel. and the atom bombs? they are really hard to make. energy uranium is less than 20%. weapons 90%
Well, there has certainly been a lot of speculation in regard to climate change/global warming, etc. I will admit that I'm a big supporter of green energy and understand the potential repercussions of losing coastal regions to warming. I also understand that it is now difficult to know what is truly natural due to solar cycles, due to indirect human activities like coal, oil, cattle, etc., and direct human influence and modification with things like HAARP and cloudseeding...
I had a discussion today with a friend who has been involved in several past military related projects and operations and we were speculating upon the potential of this winter's activities being related to weather warfare. He and I both know that it is a legitimate technology. We concluded that we do believe that there has been the use of electromagnetic waves to alter the jet stream. It sounds crazy to some, but so does cloudseeding and you can hire a company in ND to make it rain
The only questions that remain in my mind, in regard to this technology, is how long they have been using this technology and how many nations and entities are using it? It is reputed that the Soviet Union used their Woodpecker Grid to hammer the U.S. with violent winters in the 1970's and 1980's. If htese things are ocurring, I don't think that anyone can give an accurate analysis of natural heating and cooling trends, at present. After all, it wouldn't be natural...
One more thing. The past Bin Laden messages are thought to be fake by most analysts. They are released at politically opportune moments for those who they should be in opposition to. The dropped a "Bin Laden" tape days before the 2004 Presidential election, mentioning 9/11. Kerry had a 6 point lead in the polls at the time. It scared people into re-electing Bush. Kerry even believed so. Al Qaeda wouldn't have wanted Bush re-elected. Why drop the tape before the election?...
The same thing happened before the Israeli legislative election of 2009. Weeks before, a Bin Laden tape surfaces and the Israeli Likud Party picks up 15 seats in the Knesset. Al Qaeda wouldn't want that. Why release the tape? The recent one was AFTER Obama's State of the Union Address when he mentioned green jobs and energy. If the otehr tapes are fake and this one is, too, it is designed to make the people do the opposite of what the boogeyman Bin Laden states, like before...
"Bin Laden" stated that the US and other developed nations are to blame for climate change or, specifically, global warming. Cui bono? Maybe big oil, coal, etc.? I know how these people work. They most likely hammered this nation over this winter, with HAARP or another facility, in order to compel people to abandon green energy in favor of oil, coal, nuclear fission, etc. If they can do those things, which they can, why can't they make a nuclear fusion plant? Always about money.
I'm not a big fan of nuclear fission power plants. There is always the potential for a meltdown, for leakage and the waste and spent fuel is a nightmare. They make nice weapons grade material, though. Right? Sarcasm. Coal fired plants even release more radioactive material into the atmosphere than I realized, until researching it yesterday. They've created artificial black holes and glow in the dark monkeys, as well as various weather warfare techniques, but they can't make a fusion plant?
I see your Fuck the USA videos on your channel. I'm an American. I also have some Russian friends on YouTube. I'm pretty open minded about many topics. What do you think really happened in Georgia? I know that there were reports of the U.S. training and equipping Georgia, as well as reports of Israel equipping Georgia, as well as providing advisors. What do you think really started the shooting war? Russian peacekeepers under attack, or a Russian opportunity?
Georgia started the war under the US promise that is they won, they would win entry into NATO, US incited this war because they could benefit from it. Look up war 08.08.08 that'll tell you all about operation Clear Field.
Criticizing Capitalism means: US Federal Reserve (Private Company, the name is deceptive) printing US Dollar from thin air and Military power is used to keep it. There are only two markets where Oil could be bought New York and London and the US dollar is only currency allowed. Its a false demand for the dollar, the system is bogus, and the rest is smoke and mirrors, so called magic, Be ware!
Many of the reactors in use are being used longer than intended and under poor maintenance while being pushed to their design limits. Second they are being used to power many military projects that when they do their test the drain on the grid has cuased brown outs and streased these plants to near failure. That is why more and more often there are gas leaks and other failures at these plants.
anytime greepeace is advocating anything- do your research-Thorium Plants are being suppressed cause of this bullshit. Greepeace-Communist propaganda machine. Thorium energy is Clean and excellent.
While its true we dont have an permanent answer yet for spent fuel, to say we should replace nuclear energy with wind and solar is laughable, the cheap energy produced from just 2 or 3 of these plants would be more then all of the solar panels they could make for the next 20 years.

out of your league. Study calculus, differential equations, classical physics, quantum mechanics, and relativity--the real math--what is real, and proven. Yes theories are changing and evolving, but there is a method to that- people publish their work, and everyone tries to prove it wrong. If the scientifc community cannot prove it wrong, then it is accepted as a theory until someone proves it wrong by real data and experimentation.I'm not going to argue with you ever again. you are beyond me.

I do agree that more money should be invested in renewable research, and I don't like the idea of spending that much more on nuclear, because it isn't the whole answer.
nmayhewku 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 what his childish is that you have an "idea" that subatomic particles are going to change spin in 2012 when passing accross the"equator"of the milky way.You even refer to toilet drain flow that is opposite on different hemispheres-this is NOT true. The"spin"in drains is mostly dependent on flow mechanics. The Coriolis force on earth, due to how slowly the earth turns as a reference frame in respect to it's mass an the mass of the water, is not strong enough for this effect.

I made fun of your 2012 "idea" because it is the most retarded thing I have ever read, of course it has nothing to do with nuclear waste.
nmayhewku 1 year ago
@nmayhewku its a psychological FACT that when people know they are losing an argument they resort to 'Ad Hominem' attacks (look it up)
The polarity spin is less 'obvious' on the equator itself & you have to go a few miles North or South before its 'noticable'.
My 'theory' used the 'observation' of the 'polarity effect' on water to postulate that there may be a similar 'effect' on sub-atomic particles if/when the solar system crosses over the galactic 'equator'.. its still a 'reasonable' theory.
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 no, it is not a reasonable "idea" and it is certainly not a theory- interesting, yes, but not possible (i've taken quantum mechanics, have you?). Also, i don't give a damn about phychology. I went to read your page to get a feel for who i'm wasting all this time arguing with-it was clear as day that you are basing all of your arguments on hearsay, not actual experience with commercial energy.

@nmayhewku "wasting time" eh? so why continue to argue? My arguments are sound regarding renewables & I've actually done LOADS of research into their viiability (in the past.. not now as I'm disabled).
As for 'quantum mechanics'... well then you know that EVERY particle has 'spin'.
Planets have 'polarity' which can flip.. Stars have 'polarity' which can flip...
Its a reasonable 'theory' to suggest sub-atomic particles could have a 'polarity flip' under certain circumstances...
anyway we're done!
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 nope. Spin of subatomic particles is an attribute of the particle, just as is mass or electric charge. We don't even really know if they are "spinning". It is basically a property that is observable statistically, and has similarities to anuglar momentum in terms of its vector properties. Things on the quantum level are much different than the large scale, such as stars and planets. Magnetic polarity can flip, which has nothing to do with the corialis force due to rotating bodies.
nmayhewku 1 year ago
@nmayhewku
sub-atomic particle 'spin' is a well established idea & in fact the way we observe sub-atomic particles is in 'atomic accelerators' & we observe the 'trail' left by smashing particles together.. & what we observe is spiral patterns. This alone suggests that all particles have 'spin'. And seeing as everything else in the Universe is spinning I would say its 'resonable' to suggest that this applies at the sub-atomic level.
You Ad Hominem attack is pathetic & irrelevant!

As a nuclear power plant designer I can say that this guy is full of it. Another thing to consider is that a nuclear power plant creates a few thousand jobs just to run the damn thing; it also takes a few thousand to build it so I'm pretty sure the tax dollars that are spent are returned many times over.

The fact that anyone could take him seriously regarding the science and economics of power generation blows my mind.

The only reason the planet CAN support 6 billion people is because of OIL.
When the oil runs out (within 100 years) there will be global starvation on a scale NEVER seen before! Your children & grandchildren deserve a future too!

Tritium is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of hydrogen which the nucleus contains 1 proton and 2 neutrons, it decays as a beta emitter. It is produced in small quantities in the upper atmosphere where it is incorporated into water
molecules and, therefore, present in rainwater and surface recharge to aquifer systems.
rallycsx 2 years ago
It has a half-life of 12.3 years. It is also produced as a by product in nuclear power generation. The legal limit for drinking water is 20,000 picocurie per liter and while levels higer than this have been found on nuclear sites As of this date I have yet to see any nulear sites in the country that have found elevated tritium outside the owner controlled area.

How cant you understand, that stopping the nuclear reactor is impossible today. Have you been studyibg at school?
In short
The reason is that once you've started the reaction you can't stop it or avoid producing nuclear wastes. And the cost of utilisation of the nuclear wastes (if even possible) with our technology is far beyond of all the profits of already built nuclear plants.
So, I think that the President is just trying to win some time.

The money & resources that it takes to build a nuke would be MUCH better spent on 'Renewables'!!
FREE energy is available right NOW!
ejbh3160 2 years ago
@ejbh3160 free energy will never be available,
coalandnuclear 1 year ago
@coalandnuclear Free energy is ALREADY available!
What is a passive solar heater or PV or mini-hydro, or tidal power etc etc? Once you have built the aparatus, the 'fuel' is FREE & non-polluting from natural sources like ground-heat, tide, wind or sun... but with the added benefit of ZERO toxic emissions!
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 yeah but to build enough solar panels, wind turbines and tidal powerstations would send electric bills sky high, and also anything thats going into the ocean is going to need alot of maintance, these technology's dont produce much power, and for some reason everyone thinks these new energy producers arent polluting, what about all the oil and grease needed to protect all the moving parts,
coalandnuclear 1 year ago
@coalandnuclear sorry that's a crock
We could easily put at least 2 types of 'renewable' energy on every home. Also mass production brings prices DOWN & introduces 'competition' for better products & creates new jobs! What about mag-lev friction-free, ie oil free?
& Solar is solid state.. or water
There are other oils like Hemp which can replace crude
Tidal power is done with 'lagoons' to provide LOCAL hydro-electric power 24/7 & needs much less 'maintainence than nukes or coal power stations
ejbh3160 1 year ago
cont.. there is also the FACT that producing energy 'locally' cuts down on transport losses from a mega 'grid' system (which is 10% of all electricity produced)
Coal & nuke simply throw away the hot water after its been used in the turbines, but local CHP units provide hot water to local buildings
Insulation alone could save up to 30% of all the energy we use domestically which is the same as ALL the nukes in the UK + all the ones they plan to build + the two worst coal polluters added together!
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 your very incorrect, they dont throw away the water after use. the steam is condensed back to water and reused over and over again. it would be impractable to do it any other way. this way they dont need to treat new water, rather the steam that is condensed is already in good chemical condition to run through the pipes and turbine. you know nothing of steam production for electricity.
coalandnuclear 1 year ago
@coalandnuclear LOL!!! You don't understand because you don't WANT TO!
It is YOU who is "incorrect!"
When I say "throw away".. I mean they don't use the hot water for HEATING! The 'ENERGY' is thrown away.
A CHP unit in a town produces electricity closer to where its needed AND it also produces hot water which can be used to heat local hospitals schools old people's homes & public buildings etc
Neither coal OR nuclear power stations do that!
I understand steam power very well thanks
:-)
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 you dont understand much, steam travel over long distances loses it value, and steam for heating is generally used under 15 psi, which also limits there abilty to heat. also your chp unit is used in industry level for very small towns that are generally off the main grid, chp are used alot in the midwest in the usa for this reason, they are not used for utility because they cant produce as much power without cost sky rocketing,
coalandnuclear 1 year ago
@coalandnuclear chp requires a new 'infrastructure'...your BS about psi is irrelevant. as the hot water is used in hospitals schools etc not the 'steam under pressure'
/watch?v=xfzVQwW_8Jk
Ever heard of 'insulation'? well it can SAVE 30% of ALL domestic energy used today! Solar water heater on EVERY roof would save another 15% nationally
Ever heard of a 'Bloom Box' (it can save 50% of ALL gas used today!)

wakey wakey!
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 i know you wasnt aiming that one comment at me but it proves m y point, you read books while im out in the field. one thing you dont understand is cost. it cost alot to change, it cost alot to change to something that is less effiecent, these new technogys are very expensive, and they will stay expensive because there not as good as what we all ready have. so they will never get mass produced. you want another example look at the electric car
coalandnuclear 1 year ago
@coalandnuclear what is needed is a CHANGE in the way we structure our 'infrastructures'
We need energy produced 'locally' (preferably on-site) so we 'save' on High voltage transport losses (then we can design 'goods' to work at lower voltages).
Every home (& business) MUST be insulated & new innovations will save even more
Energy saving products can be designed to save up to 80% of the energy they use today (MORE with LED lightbulbs)
We could EASILY develop a carbon neutral society RIGHT NOW!
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@coalandnuclear who said anything about "steam travel"?
I thought you knew what you were talking about.. but clearly NOT!
Apart from PV & fuel-cell technology.. all electricity production is done by heating WATER & driving a 'steam turbine' to drive the coils that generate the electricity.
If it runs on electricity.. its running on STEAM!
The point I made was that 30% of that energy is then thrown away because the hot water isn't USED for a secondary purpose (like heating hospitals schools etc)
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 ur examples are not universal sure there are places in the world that works. But how do u do solar when u have 6 months of night. All thse innovations still require materials, which need to havested. Why do we want to live these limited lives, when .. nuclear = no carbon?.
Solar requires nuclear reactions, lets follow the sun.
shk9664 1 year ago
@shk9664 yes & coal & nuke power stations need 'resources' to build too.
The difference is that then they continue to need 'fuel' whereas solar gets its fuel for FREE
Nuke fuel is carbon intensive!
For colder climates there's geo-thermal & wind (even burning wood is a recyclable closed system so long as you plant more trees to replace the ones you burn)
A recent study showed that if the OFF-SHORE wind potential of the UK was fully developed, it would provide THREE times the total UK present use!

@ejbh3160 I in fact have a brain, and I utilize it as a engineer at a nuclear power plant. It is apparent that you have not done good research if you think it is a total waste of money. We produce the cheapest power for our owners-including the initial investment to build the plant. It is people like you that prevent reprocessing in this country, which solves the bulk of your "scary" 250,000 year number. This video is bunk if you knew the level of tritium actually released-pure scare tactics

ejbh3160 1 year ago
cont... what is so TOTALLY stupid is we could provide many MORE 'engineering' JOBS (per dollar rubel pound Euro spend) & give people a way to produce most of the energy they use, at HOME for FREE by investing in 'renewable' sources like 'ground-heat', wind, solar water heaters & solar PV instead of nukes.
Even simply spending the money from ONE nuke on 'insulation' & energy saving for every home, would SAVE many times the energy than that nuke would have produced!!
Its total MADNESS!
ejbh3160 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 I completely agree with energy conservation at home, and clean energy, why are you arguing this? In fact, I'm completely for using and government subsidizing renewable sources at homes, and not subsidizing utilities to do it. I don not agree with your insulation argument, the numbers do not add up. The fact is the amount of energy consumed at peak demand times will ALWAYS be dependent on commercial stations.
nmayhewku 1 year ago
@ejbh3160 I am an engineer-get over it. Nuclear, compared to other large generating stations has the lowest fuel cost per kilowatt hour, this is a fact-the energy company that owns the majority of our plant shows this in their financial reports year after year. It does fluctuate based on market conditions for our fuel, but it is always cheapest, and we are a pain in their ass from a regulatory standpoint, but not cost. Further, when did I say it isn't polluting? Why are you arguing this?

I find it unfortunate that many locations in the world use Nuclear energy as a "solution" to the CO2 "problem" whilst at the same time it is not only expensive, non-renewable but has massive amounts of waste.
The only way to get money out of them is Depleted Uranium, and yet still how does this so called "cheap" energy (which is not cheap at all) make the world a better place? What's even more interesting is the idea that it can lead to a vulnerability to possible terror, even imagined threats.

Well, there has certainly been a lot of speculation in regard to climate change/global warming, etc. I will admit that I'm a big supporter of green energy and understand the potential repercussions of losing coastal regions to warming. I also understand that it is now difficult to know what is truly natural due to solar cycles, due to indirect human activities like coal, oil, cattle, etc., and direct human influence and modification with things like HAARP and cloudseeding...

I had a discussion today with a friend who has been involved in several past military related projects and operations and we were speculating upon the potential of this winter's activities being related to weather warfare. He and I both know that it is a legitimate technology. We concluded that we do believe that there has been the use of electromagnetic waves to alter the jet stream. It sounds crazy to some, but so does cloudseeding and you can hire a company in ND to make it rain
brianwesley28 2 years ago

The only questions that remain in my mind, in regard to this technology, is how long they have been using this technology and how many nations and entities are using it? It is reputed that the Soviet Union used their Woodpecker Grid to hammer the U.S. with violent winters in the 1970's and 1980's. If htese things are ocurring, I don't think that anyone can give an accurate analysis of natural heating and cooling trends, at present. After all, it wouldn't be natural...

One more thing. The past Bin Laden messages are thought to be fake by most analysts. They are released at politically opportune moments for those who they should be in opposition to. The dropped a "Bin Laden" tape days before the 2004 Presidential election, mentioning 9/11. Kerry had a 6 point lead in the polls at the time. It scared people into re-electing Bush. Kerry even believed so. Al Qaeda wouldn't have wanted Bush re-elected. Why drop the tape before the election?...
brianwesley28 2 years ago
@Alavaria
The same thing happened before the Israeli legislative election of 2009. Weeks before, a Bin Laden tape surfaces and the Israeli Likud Party picks up 15 seats in the Knesset. Al Qaeda wouldn't want that. Why release the tape? The recent one was AFTER Obama's State of the Union Address when he mentioned green jobs and energy. If the otehr tapes are fake and this one is, too, it is designed to make the people do the opposite of what the boogeyman Bin Laden states, like before...
brianwesley28 2 years ago
@Alavaria
"Bin Laden" stated that the US and other developed nations are to blame for climate change or, specifically, global warming. Cui bono? Maybe big oil, coal, etc.? I know how these people work. They most likely hammered this nation over this winter, with HAARP or another facility, in order to compel people to abandon green energy in favor of oil, coal, nuclear fission, etc. If they can do those things, which they can, why can't they make a nuclear fusion plant? Always about money.
brianwesley28 2 years ago
I'm not a big fan of nuclear fission power plants. There is always the potential for a meltdown, for leakage and the waste and spent fuel is a nightmare. They make nice weapons grade material, though. Right? Sarcasm. Coal fired plants even release more radioactive material into the atmosphere than I realized, until researching it yesterday. They've created artificial black holes and glow in the dark monkeys, as well as various weather warfare techniques, but they can't make a fusion plant?

Many of the reactors in use are being used longer than intended and under poor maintenance while being pushed to their design limits.

That is why more and more often there are gas leaks and other failures at these plants.
