New Leader Of UK's Green Party: Nuclear Power Is The Betamax Of The Energy World

[Confusious]

11. I usually don't read Luddite screeds

I find it a waste of time, since I won't agree, at ALL.

I don't agree that it is heading toward the dustbin of history. A lot of good has come from it.

There are many uses for nuclear isotopes, and the only place we can get them is from nuclear reactors. You can argue the amount that may be around, but dustbin of history, I don't think so.

Besides which, there are many promising new nuclear technologies which make them safer.

Of course, I expect to hear "you can never make them safe" but that just shows you haven't read up on them.

I fully expect the green party and all the Luddites to be out protesting fusion plants once they get those operational. They generate radiation and nuclear waste, and I know how you hate those.

Of course, there would also never be an accident with a fusion plant, and unlimited energy is hard to turn down.
