Nuclear energy is probably the best source of energy there is! A compact source that can dish out huge amounts of power and does not emit CO2. In addition, the "waste" is really only another source of energy, as it can be reprocess and burn as fuel.

[offsprng46]

I'd prefer to reprocess the waste, as it makes little sense to throw away spent fuel which still contains 99% of its potentially useful energy. However, many other options exist. I don't recommend it, but crudely, we could simply put it back in the very same mines from whence it came after they've been exhausted.

Do you really think nuclear engineers are incompetents who can't figure out how to clean up their mess after they've powered your average home for a year on just 2-3 grams of material?

I was saying we need real peace. Besides, I kick it back and smoke Drum, tobacco in its most meaningful form, like, I even wear shabby clothes and am growin my hair long, man!

[Hoobifta]

Hey man! Ya gotta go with fanlike energy man! It's cleaner than toxic waste nuclear power shit man! By the way we need hippies for all the positives but real peace, not that faux pas shit man!

Sell out. Ugh.

@666feather777890 Founder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich Chancellor and guiding spirit of the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the backwoods of lower Austria, the young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child.

[BadMadChicken]

Nuclear energy is a fossil fuel.

Just saying.

I've actually have been to Chernobyl; in fact outside of the Black Forest Area directly near pripyat the entire area looks more like a healthy wildreness park and the animals tested there for radioactivity on cumulative doses are quite healthy; in fact I find it a macabre form of humor that a regular american suburb means MORE destruction to the enviroment than the destruction of a fully functional reactor.

@tehatemachine

Actually...its because of differing requirements. What comes out of coal plants as radioactive coal ash (all ash is radioactive to some degree) would be considered hazardous waste if it would come out of a nuke plant and it would have to be buried with full precautions. And all nuke plants are followed more closely than coal plants at cost to the nuke plant operator. If the demands on radioactive contamination remediation would be the same for both coal would be non-competitive.

[tehatemachine]

@52111centrumcz exactly what i was thinking. But the expensive infrastructure is cheaper than having to pay for high running costs over time. But maintenance on nuclear plants is also quite costly. Which still makes coal competitive.
