Experts Say Nuclear Power May Be Our Only Hope

41. We just have to change our mode of thinking

We can clean up emissions from fossil fuels. It has been done, we can do more. Much more.

Then we need to make sure all of our uses of fossil fuels are as economical as can be. Meaning we get the most from every gallon, every lump of coal, every whiff of gas.

The problem is, as it is with the use of nuclear, that we put away thinking about what is the end result of the use. We do that because thinking beyond profits is not our current way of operating.

The reason solar is so unused is that there is not continuing profit stream like there is with nukes and fossil fuels. There are no taxes collected from solar power. It is too cheap to meter.

People who think nuclear is clean and safe are people who can't see that leaving the waste for the next 100 generations to deal with is a sinful, slothful and absolutely asinine mode of thinking. The science says so.
