I am not going to bother reading all the previous posts so I am going to say this:


If you are contra-nuclear you are dumb.



EDIT: I read the thread and am going to narrow it down to Detoxicated.

Intelligent statement, really mature too... You get a dick point.

And munchkin, I misunderstood, your post sounded sarcastic in my head, so shame on me and the inability of text to transmit subcontext.

Um, how is a power which is constantly releasing substances that cause terminal illnesses, while creating waste which destroys the land any good? Like I can see your point of bashing coal power and the likes, but honestly defending nuclear fission energy, knowing that it causes diseases and problems, destroying biotopes is not clean. There might be less CO2 coming out, but on the other hand you have a duckload of terminal things coming out. The human actions cause maybe 5 percent of the actual CO2 emissions so it shouldn't be the leading argument. Nuclear fission is still unrenewable energy, so it won't last forever, but we won't see the end coming. We do know of the terrible byproducts. I am just saying there is you can gain energy in harmony with nature, and its already possible to an extend which is simply denied by many of you, as nobody even read the wiki link I posted, as I must presume, because there was no comment on it. But I guess it's better to use good old clean, corporate nuclear energy, for a better tomorrow.
-Detoxicated III

Because unlike what you're saying, nuclear power plants are pretty much the safest things around. The nuclear waste is minimal with current technologies and will decrease in radioactivity once thorium-based reactors phase out the current uranium ones. Thorium is also 450% more present in the earth's crust than uranium, meaning a sudden influx of more fuel.

You can say whatever you want, but renewable energy simply CANNOT replace coal-based and nuclear-based energy. Those types of energy occupy a lot less space and put out a lot more energy, no matter what.

Our only hope for green energy is making asimov arrays and who knows if that will ever be plausible. That or covering everything on Earth with solar cells.

Outright wanting to remove an incredibly productive and almost completely safe power source out of fear is ridiculous. Chernobyl isn't even a good example of nuclear fission gone wrong because if the soviets hadn't been dumbasses they could have saved the plant before it was too late. The plant in Fukushima is also quite bad because the plant endured a tsunami and an earthquake and even then the damage could have been a lot worse.

Also, I was blunt because environmentalist hippies don't usually listen to arguments.

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have my opening statement.

By god, he's right!

So far we can only create net forces by putting two slates, mirrors usually, really close to each other and we can transform virtual particles in actual particles by moving the mirrors at relativistic speeds.

Dark matter and energy will probably never be used for something other than explaining cosmological stuff.

ZEagle.

Too bad making the capitalisation forced my arms in such an odd position, else I would've nailed that.

Princess Trollestia strikes again.

Flisch is right.
