Nuclear energy is probably the best source of energy there is! A compact source that can dish out huge amounts of power and does not emit CO2. In addition, the "waste" is really only another source of energy, as it can be reprocess and burn as fuel.

hippie!

The thing is, ALL that you want is under-shot waterwheels and nothing else, it seems. You want to live a life of luddiitetry and you want everybody else to do so. Well, guess what-I don't. If you want to, find your own community and stay there.

Most of everything I've heard from people like you sound like the stupid decision made at the end of Battlestar Galactica; throw all our technology and live in the sun because we are not a worthy species. Well, we are, and we want the tech, OK?

Ok all the people bringing up Japan how many people died from that compared to the earthquake and tsunami combined?

[Willcollective]

Wow, this video resurfacing after the Japan incident really sheds a whole new light on it doesn't it?

[sn1pe352]

Tell this to Japan

[sn1pe352]

@andresfusion you are grossly mistaken, Solar - Geothermal - OTEC Energy Conversion is the "Best" source of Energy (Which is Nuclear Fusion 93,000,000 Miles away Might I add)

Ignorance and Indifference KILLS, Hence Chernobyl and Japan.

If it was up to this fat fuck and indifferent-ignorent people like yourself we'd still be slaughtering whales for their blubber and Edison's DC Power would of won instead of Nikola Tesla's Alternating Current which we currently use today. You're all in Dark Ages

FUKUSHIMA!

Ok, asshole, global warming is bullshit. Penn and Teller YOU are bullshit! You are establishment motherfuckers. There are much safer nuclear power plants, LFTR plants to be exact. But, you would never promote those or even mention them on your show because the establishment to which you belong knows that they can't get bomb material for nuclear bombs from LFTR reactors to blackmail the rest of the planet with. You Suck. Even Hippies are better then YOU.

@Neville6000 I'm glad you have a brain and can think for yourself, it seems the media is filling peoples minds with the notion that nuclear power is dangerous and unbecoming. When in all reality it is more green and environmental friendly than say coal burning plants and even hydrogen. We can only hope that the political end of this deal will realize the same.

[revoltncock]

@arionthelovepoet nuclear is far more green than coal. Also it is a cheaper form of energy, my father works for our local power plant as a chemist and I hear about their efforts in creating less pollution all the time, when they are actually creating more pollution. It is just a big political fiasco going on and were victim to the news and propaganda. My father was also an environmentalist for 12 years so I know he has a very unbiased opinion. Just look at Frances' nuclear plants.

@FreeWater9 Look at France, those so called nasty spent fuel rods go through reprocessing and in turn are made into more fuel. Where here in America they would rather spend our hard earned tax payers money on these so called scrubbers which use lime to lower carbon emissions into the air but what they don't tell you is that they are actually more dangerous and even look up the process off mining the lime. The big wigs use politics to keep us from nuclear energy, but why?

[FreeWater9]

Once they come up with a permanent solution to getting rid of all those nasty spent fuel rods that are stacking up in cooling pools I might be for the expansion of nuclear energy, but untill then, no thanks.

[arionthelovepoet]

Lets put the first new nuke plant on Manhattan and those new oil derricks off the Hamptons. Lets see how popular they are then.
