Nuclear Power Plants: Freeloading in Florida

[madokie]

2. Nuclear energy is such a rip off

When we were fighting against PSO from putting one down wind from here where I live back in the '70s they lied to us like there was no tomorrow. Nuclear power plants are not safe in that when and if they go wrong they can go wrong in a big way. Matters not why or how as once its out of control stopping it can be very difficult as what is happening in Japan now and what happened in the ukraine is proof of. I'm not sure that Pripyat will ever be safe for people to return too. As it is they'll have to tear the city down even if it became safe because of the deterioration thats happened there since. With the earths population growing as it is the last thing we need is to make any of it less inhabitable. In the distant future they might figure fusion out but in the meantime it won't help us in the plight we're in now. I'm not even convinced that fusion will ever be an option. If thorium was it would already be in use so that one is out too, as it seems that is. For the short term renewables, solar, wind and geothermal is where we need to concentrate our efforts thats for sure.
