September 2008

wtf is this shit

@XtalQRP - What about Cold Fusion? Why are scientists still trying to hide the now proven Cold Fusion?

[EquusFerrarius]

@misszweetti Quite simply, it would. Nuclear is considered to be the second cheapest source of electricty, only hydroelectric is cheaper and that is very dependant on geography.

@hairypeebee It is higher, but not much higher, than the rate at which France built it's nuclear power plants. It just sounds like a massive rate of contruction beacuse it is taking about the entire world.

Nuclear and any dangerous things will fail because of the "companies with Illimited Irresponsibility". You make the security of a nuclear plant to another company. If anything happens.... who cares, the tierce company will go bankrupt and voilà, nobody is responsible for such dangerous things.

@Gummage06 Because it has not been proven to exist,or, rather, Fleischmann and Pons were never able to demonstrate or replicate their observed results, and neither has anyone else (inspite of one study spending atleast £12 million on it alone). If you are pinning your hopes on cold fusion you will be waiting a long time. Quite what relevence it has to the subject at hand...?

@dennisrules94 Coal contains radioactive particles in minute amounts, these are released by combustion due to the lack of filtering at levels which exceed the background around most reactors. Radioactive minerals are present to some degree in virtually all rocks.

@Gummage06 And? All the modern reactors survived both the earthquake and the tsunami, a testament to their good design. Fukushima is a very old second generation design which is never going to be built again. Given that neither hazard is particularly applicable to the UK, the events in Japan have little to no relevence.

the nuclear industry is telling us that nuclear power is green power, well I'm sure they wouldn't have anyform of vested interest at all.
