Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Dear List, i'm wondering... how many here think that *if* the waste-disposal issue could be dealt with (for example, sending used uranium and other such products into outer space), perhaps nuclear power generation is actually something of a good idea? Atmospherically, it's a pretty 'clean' form of power generation... and we now have the means at our disposal (if such means were really utilized) to send the waste products off the planet (not into Earth orbit!) and straight into deep space (there's enough space out there to keep "dumping" for a hundred million years ;-). The word is that Germany is pushing for a ban on nuclear power plants, yet there is a proliferation of coal-based power plants there, which produce some of the worst sorts of atmospheric pollutants known. Just curious as to any views on this... Joy & Happiness, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Even if all the disposal problems are solved 100 percent, there is alway a possibility of nuclear accidents. Human error, terrorist attacks even wars that could cause another Chernoble disaster. Solar is the way to go. IMO. Wim: This is great, May I borrow permanently? " I love you loving me loving you".
