Is Nuclear Power "Green" ???

Is Nuclear Power "Green" ??? With the radioactive waste produced being the MOST toxic thing on Planet Earth? besides being long-lived, for example, plutonium-239 has a 'hazardous life' of 240,000 to 480,000 yrs during which we have to worry about us humans and our fellow animals contracting cancer, being mutated, and losing our fetuses due to genetic damage. The past aborted attempt to dump nuclear waste in any dump in America unmonitored as 'Below Regulatory Concern' or 'BRC' actually took place in 1991. America has been called the Persian Gulf of Wind because just the Dakotas can produce 2/3 rds of US electricity with its winds, and Texas could provide the other third. Besides an area in Nevada 100 X 120 miles rectangular, able to produce all the electricity our USA needs via solar power, as revealed by the Union Of Concerned Scientists (UCS). See much more at http://www.crestofthewave.com
High level waste (e.g., control rods after one year of deployment within nuclear reactor) very deadly: if you stand three feet away for 10 seconds, you will receive a fatal dose, and probably die within 2 weeks from radiation sickness, where your immune system implodes and you bleed from too many of your orifices. New German study shows increased incidence of cancer around nuclear plants. Is that 'green' ?

I love how an MD is talking about nuclear power. We couldn't get an engineer?

@OrionWong1pfft, i just cant understand why people who arent educated on the matter, think they know everything about nuclear power saying that its dangerous because a tsunami caused one to leak. dont you get the message? it was a tsunami, doesnt happen everyday, and wont happen again in your life time. earthquakes are the probelm not nuclear power. what other alternative energy should we use?

[OrionWong1]

@saulwilliams56 why all the nuclear supporters all seems so rude and always shouting? is it becoz that makes your points Sound more convincing? I can see @conradmillermd tried soo hard to bear your rude comments and keep calm to explain his point which are more reasonable than your shout out opinion. I'm really sad to see your comments like you wish AQ had attack the nuke plants in 911 and your heartless sense to fukushima.

@saulwilliams56 um... isn't that nuclear power also leaves US dependent on other country? for the uranium and the construction design?

@conradmillermd

If we check the facts we find that there is very little radioactive waste produced. Of the little waste produced we can store it safely for hundreds upon thousands of years without affecting humans and the environment. And the Nuclear Plants themselves are safe enough to stop radiation exposure.

Did you know that radiation occurs naturally in our environment?

@conradmillermd Look here, there is deadly radiation and if your stupid enough to stand by it you will get killed. But, Conrad, this is where your theory falls onto it's head! Because we can deal with the radiation! As sure as petrol will kill you if you spill it over you and light it up, we set the radiation aside in safe places. Just like keeping the petrol in the car where it belongs.

@conradmillermd LOL Conrad, sorry but thats just as bad as saying the sun is going to fry us tomorrow because it is hot and dangerous, and the Moon Landing Skeptics that say that just because there is some radiation in space means that we couldn't land on the moon. Just because there is some harmful radiation in space does not mean we can't deal with it!

[MarsMoonEuropa]

@conradmillermd LOL. Sorry Conrad, but thats almost as bad as saying your going be fried by the sun tomorrow just because it's hot and it's there! And just as bad as the Moon Landing Skeptics claiming that a bit of radiation makes it impossible to reach the moon! Just because radiation doesn't mean we can't solve the problem and send people to the moon!

[conradmillermd]

@MarsMoonEuropa How about some basic info MarsMoon? Do you comprehend that radiation can be harmful, that beams are emitted that strike DNA and can mutate it or kill the cells outright that are struck by the beams? Do you understand half life and what cancer is? Denial is beautiful and death is great? Pie in the sky, and Osama bin Laden under the sea. Do you believe Al Qaeda exists? Read a little about radiation before you post your next message please.

@conradmillermd

No one was harmed by Fukushima. No one will be harmed. It is just media spin playing on public paranoia.

God, I did wish Al Qaeda went for the Nuclear Power Plant. So few people would have died.
