Penn&Teller bullshit-show is just pure epic.

Nuclear energy is cleaner and more efficient than any other method we can conceive of at the moment, aside from fusion. Solar power may be cleaner but it's nowhere near as efficient and the same goes for wind energy.

But something else: solar and wind power are also dirty. The components must be manufactured, afterall.

YOU GUYS ARE FUCKED. A BUILDING GETTING ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS AND A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT GETTING ATTACKED HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT (FALL- OUTS) PUN INTENDED. ON BEING RADIATION THAT WILL KILL MILLIONS OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS. ASSHOLES. NUCLEAR IS A NEAT IDEA , BUT WAY TOO DANGEROUS. GLOBALLY

@dragoran look, Fukushima was bad, but it wasn't the worst. in reality, the building should've COLLAPSED by the quake, and it wasn't a total meltdown.

It maybye was a terrible disaster but it could've been a lot worse.

@linuslillen01 Fukushima

[linuslillen01]

@dragoran yes, but nuclear plants are built to withstand. the reactor is surrounded by a concrete block., the reactor is made of metal that takes the heat. the containers that transport waste are practically indestructable.

MY point: you need a lot of juice to do serious harm to a plant.

[dragoran]

@linuslillen01 WTF, are you talking about?

These 2 idiots point is "Anything can be attacked by terrorist, its pointless to build anything". My point is "Anything can be attacked by terrorists, BUT only Nuclear plants leave a RADIOACTIVE WASTELAND and RADIATION DUST CLOUDS across the globe"...

Do you get my drift?

[linuslillen01]

@dragoran if a nucklear plant can withstand (at least barely) a earthquake... well... i wouldn't bee that worried.

but seriously: wind and solar power will be slow to develope... alltrough out there they are certaintly trying.

[dragoran]

today Solar and Wind energy are cheaper than Nuclear, they would become cheaper than Coal with a few additional taxes for health and long term hazzards. I can not understand why these Liberal douches are soo fucking idiotic.

They have a personal war with Green Peace and Peta? They seem to spew shit like the right wing nuts.

PS the issue is If a Nuclear plant is attacked it would leave the area around it a wasteland for hundereds of years... they screwed his point and made a Moore type doku...

Conserving recources is the best policy. I was born in the oil age and extremely gratefull for it.

[ghostofandy]

If they're so susceptible, then why have they never been attacked?

Some of you guys are goddamn retarded. The G3+ nuclear reactors (the newest models we WOULD be building if you batshit hippies would stop getting in the way.) promise to be almost melt proof. And with the storage facility in Yucka Mt., we could safely store spent rods for decades. I live in New Jersey, and up here, we don't get much sun light in the winter, and late summer air can be almost stagnant. A few Nuke Plants could easily power our entire state if you fucks would step off.
