Nuclear Power Safe? Obama and Congress take note!

THANKS FOR POSTING. CLEAN ENERGY NOW. NO EXCUSES. THANKS.

"New nuclear build is uneconomic and unnecessary, so we need not debate whether it is also proliferative and dangerous. In a world of fallible and malicious people, it is actually both, but even after 60 years' immense subsidies and devoted effort, nuclear power still cannot clear the first two hurdles—competitiveness and need. End of story." Amory Lovins,

There is not enough power in those sources for a country to run off of. If it was possible don't you think we would of turned to it already? If it could supply enough power for the U.S. i think we would of done it cause we wouldn't have to rely on gas or coal fromother countrys. But the fact is it can't. Anyone could easily point out the flaws of any new discovery. I think we should invest time, money, and resources into nuclear power. We should learn and study it. Not shun it.

@untamedmuffin While this is a sentiment that many people express, it is hardly a fact that there is not enough power in clean sources plus realistic conservation measures. Watch Japan for a case study on where your reasoning leads. As long as the nuclear industry can sell your argument we will sit on our hands and wait before we take our tax breaks, promises of insurance, and other incentives away from them and put them squarely into the hands of truly sustainable alternatives.

@Tamalpaisproductions There is one thing nobody seems to understand. We are not Japan. Sure we should study it but thats were your a little right. Learning their mistakes and making improvements to our nuclear plants would be a great idea instead of fearing what might happen. Also to point out, This problem in Japan is being blown out of proportion. None of the walls around the reactor have been breached and those walls keep the vast majority of dangerous radiation contained.

@untamedmuffin Sorry, but we have a basic disagreement that is unlikely to change. Containing the "vast majority" just doesn't do it when it comes to this level of harm. I doubt you are about to move to Japan and raise your children in proximity to that plant. No one should be asked to take those risks. You have not convinced me nor would your arguments convince the many scientists quoted in the film.

Wonderful video, thank you

Thank you so much for creating and posting this fantastic video of the Nuclear Power and Children's Health Conference held in Chicago in 2004. I attended this event and was stunned by the array of scientists and the information they brought to the fore. GoGreen - GoSolar - GoWind!

"We do not need nuclear power. The world does not need nuclear power. To visit death upon current and future generations from radiation is unforgivable."

As far as we're concerned, obviously we support the conclusions drawn by the speakers. As has been said before, I'd rather be safe than sorry. We have better and cheaper alternatives that avoid this controversy completely. Please let our politician know that you want them to find energy sources that everyone will feel good about.

What we have noticed since posting this video is that if you are anti-nuclear energy you will be further convinced by what you see, and if you are pro-nuclear energy you won't believe these experts, because they are not your experts. I decided to erase all the comments, some of which were abrasive, to say the least.
