There is a way to get rid of waste! the French, Germans, Swiss, Russians, and Swedes have been doing it for 20 years! its called recycling it. The waste that has been removed from reactors is sent to a reprocessing facility, refined, reprocessed, and put back into the reactors. its cheaper than storing it and it is 100% clean. no emissions, and the leftover metals that have been taken from the waste can be reused in the process. outrageously efficient. its a no brainer.

Nuclear Energy --> Yes there is waste, just like Fossil Fuels, but it is being contained or atleast trying to be..

The wastes of Fossil Fuels are shot into the air (several volatile organic compounds, acids, sulfur dioxide, and metals. Oh and CO2)right? not contained? Im not argueing im trying to understand, any enlightenment into this issue would be appreciated

@camman1056 that's called "fucking the dog" my house has a door, my dogs backdoor isn't it.

[camman1056]

@skydome29 I see your point, it has a lot of merit, but on the other hand it does not explain the energy release of your mum and I in bed last night

Well, Obama won in the end. But you want to be on the side of non-nuclear power. Although I like nuclear power, but nobody else does. Why do I care about American politics? I should be more worried about what Julia Gillard is doing to our government, she'll probably can kicked out by the labor party like they did to Kevin Rudd, or Tony Abbott will kick her ass in the 2013 or 14 election.

@krazykid1337 all I can say is look at Fukushima and chernobyl

[Fruzlie]

@coverchenko That's all nice and well to say but can you or someone redirect me to a site that actually has proof of what you are speaking of, "the recycling of nuclear waste"?

Nuclear power in its current form is amoral even if its save, no one has the right to create an radiation waste problem that kan kill on a large scale over long periods even a 100.000 years from now.

[skydome29]

We must still wait for nuclear fusion, requires fractional amount of material and produces a massive amount of energy which is exponentially greater than nuclear fission. Solar and biofuel are other avenues that seem to lead down a profitable road, wind power, not so much.

by nuclear power i though this meant nuclear power as in north korea and nukes

@Sonnedude well we happily managed to destroy competition here in Germany. Four companies ( Enbw , E-on, Wattenphal und RWE ) formed an inofficial cartell and are currently milking the german tex-payer. If we had fair competition power plants would long overdue in most european countries.
