    Default Pro-Nuclear or Anti?

    What're everyone's opinions on nuclear power? Do you think it's a good way to get power, or do you think that it's too risky to be worth it?

    I'm pro-nuclear power, but only if the tightest safety measures are met. Even if there's one serious incident then the plant has to be shut down or put under strict watch. There can't be a second accident.

    Anything that offers an alternative to coal is a plus in my book. Nuclear technology has come a long way, so it's pretty darn safe nowadays.

    The fear of another serious accident, like what happened in Chernobyl, or in Three Mile Island or in Windscale.

    pro-nuclear, not as sustainable as I'd like, but seems to be the most immediate band-aid
    Smile even though its breaking

    Mmm the only problem is the nuclear waste..i dont know how people are going to responsibly take those out of the equation without suffering loss in money. Hydrogen for the win...but we need more research and nuclear for the time being sounds good until we get something better.

    Maybe we can use the bombs we have for something useful :P

    Nuclear weapons are there as a deterrent to use within themselves and as a quick alternative to bloody,soul destroying conventional warfare though personally I think the world would be a safer place without nuclear superpowers altogether.

    This thread isn't even about nuclear weapons, dude.


    Personally, I'm all for Nuclear power.

    cheap fuel, the plants make jobs for the surrounding area, and people are finally trying to be properly safe about it (like making sure water is cooled before dumped back into the lakes. Apparently different water temperatures kill the inhabitants xD)

    Well I may have taken it slightly wrong, but...

    How I see it-

    Two forms of nuclear power. Fission and Fusion.

    For me Nuclear is the way to go. Fission can blow up in your face and cause some serious problems if not used responsibly but it is clean(other then waste but meh) efficent and powerful.

    And once we gain the ability of fusion we will do away with many of the negatives of Fission(or so what I have read on it says) and keep the benifits. So Nuclear seems to be the obvious way to go. Solar and Wind can be undependable. Hydro is quite picky and can cause problems(or so I have read). Shrug. Why not nuclear?


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    It's a great thing, but bombing japan TWICE was stupid, threats or maybe even once was sufficient.

    A large town becoming uninhabitable has already happened. The town of Pripyat was home to around 300,000 people - probably more, I'm not certain about the number. It was a town built almost exclusively for the workers of the nearby power plant and their families. It was right beside Chernobyl. Now the place is uninhabitable for roughly the next 100,000 years.

    Anti-Nuclear. But that might because I'm a total hippie. Honestly, I just don't like it, it's unsafe, even with very strict security measures, TIME did an article on how easy it would be for people to trigger a meltdown. It was very disturbing. And I'm very anti.

    Tôi đói.
