Pro-Nuclear or Anti?

[edczxcvbnm]

Disposal of Nuke Waste is very expensive and must be done under the highest saftly levels and all of that junk. But the cost(I would like to think) would be off set by that we would reduce the number of overall power plants which cuts tons of things such as jobs, overhead and other things which can be shifted to waste disposal.

Even if it costs more after that, I say it is worth it for a cleaner and less poluted earth.

I still don't get why we don't just blast nuclear waste into the center of the sun...

Just imagine if there was a problem with the launch, and the rocket blew up in the atmosphere. Nuclear radiation would be launched all over the world. Bad idea. It's not even worth attempting because if we screw up just once it'd be bad news for all of us.

Ah, fair enough. Wait a couple of decades until things get more reliable, I guess...

The only trouble with nuke power is the treat that someone would decide that it would be a good target, either in a war, or as part of terrorism. That and the meltdown risks. But it is a cheap and plentiful source of energy, which might be needed when oil runs out.

Mixed bag.
