Jeremy Rifkin - a brighter perspective on nuclear industry (keep watching - it's in English)

Sarkozy says: "France has to show itself on the height of it's responsibility for the country. And we choose the nuclear energy. For France, the civilian nuclear is essential for it's energetic independance and it's fight against greenhouse-gases."

Thank you for the great comments! Here are some potential problems with alternative energy we'll have to overcome if we are to go that way:

What's certain though is that the nuclear industry must die, fast, and let us deal with the Fukushima disaster effectively and on the international basis

Solar is free and does not hurt water or air! Wind power is free but many conplain the big mills hurt there heads, maybe they need to change the frequency they are on( the wind mills ) But if we all went to free power big brother would not know what we were using ! 

[LIFEGUARD805]

They pulled out of Libya weeks ago, saying this war is too expensive!! Haha the french!!!

[gjtdub]

Well put!!!

[mphello]

RIFKIN RULES!

Solar and wind farms EVERYWHERE! Let's get building!

[biozamadotcom]

Larouche would disagree

[unseenrecordings]

he chairs a group of 120 of the biggest companies in the world ? fantastic  - white hat !

[Volksverhetz]

THIS IS CLEARLY THE MOST LUCID, INCISIVE, DISPOSITIVE, & CONCISE EVISCERATION OF THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF PRO-NUCLEAR-POWER ARGUMENTS. INDEED, BOTH SUBSTANTIVELY AND RHETORICALLY, THIS GUY UTTERLY THRASHES THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY. HE PROVES THAT THEY ARE LIVING ON BORROWED TIME. LET THE ANTI-NUCLEAR REVOLUTION FINALLY BEGIN!! PERHAPS THE HORRIFYING CATASTROPHE OF FUKUSHIMA ACTUALLY HAS A GOOD SIDE. GOOD WILL RISE OUT OF EVIL. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, NUCLEAR POWER IS THE REAL DANTEAN INFERNO.

[HyperIndividualist]

An amazing overview of the absurdity of nuclear. Alas, the politicians, ideologues, and invested interests behind nuclear can do a lot of damage before reality catches up to their antiquated systems theories.
