Victims of Fukushima

10. Two things concerning nuclear energy

that says we should not be using it it. 1: As long as we don't know what or how to deal with the everyday waste we should not be making more. I know there are those who say Oh we know what to do with it, bury it, Well to that I ask where? 2: As long as we don't know how to control it when it goes wrong we should not be using it for any reason. Putting a sarcophagus over it as they did in Chernobyl is not the answer nor is letting it run its course as they're doing in Fukushima now is either. Tepco has admitted they do not know what to do, no one does.

On paper under ideal condition I can't see why we'd use anything else but nuclear energy, trouble is 1&2 I listed above.

Yucca mountain wouldn't hold all of what we have today let alone hold what is made in the future so that is out as a viable means of disposing of the waste.

On a level playing field there would be no and I mean NO nuclear power plants in the usa today. We've wasted 60 plus years of developments of alternate methods of making our electricity because of the pig in a poke called safe and cheap energy we were sold all those years ago.
