Safe Mode: On
Nuclear Energy IS the Answer - Trust Engineers

An interview with Patrick Moore co-fonder of Greenpeace interviewed on the Dennis Miller show as they discuss nuclear energy.

I think it is time to re-open the public discussion on nuclear energy for the US. It is proven and safe, and we know how to deal with the waste. Only the uneducated think there is a nuclear boogie man out there that is going to kill us all. This is the answer to many problems we face today.

  • Asking greenpeace for their opinion on Nuclear power is like asking the leader of the International Green Party his opinion on the USA being force to get rid of its military.

    WHO is the leader of the Greenies worldwide?

    None other than the former Soviet Communist premier Micael Gorbechev.

    The green movement is no more that the anti-USA movement. That is why algore is the figurehead.

    what are you talking about. All a nuke plant puts into the air is steam. Unless is melts down of course...

  • algae biodiesel! 12% of the unused desert of arizona can replace 100% of all fossil fuels in the USA.

    Don't believe me?

    "In the previous section, we found that to replace all transportation fuels in the US, we would need 140.8 billion gallons of biodiesel, or roughly 19 quads (one quad is roughly 7.5 billion gallons of biodiesel). To produce that amount would require a land mass of almost 15,000 square miles. To put that in perspective, consider that the Sonora desert in the southwes More..

  • Nuclear waste is dangerous and has a horribly long decay time. However, I think nuclear is the next best bet after biofuels.

    Biofuels really are the future in my opinion. Biotechnology is advancing so fast right now it's hard to even stay up with all the articles.

    Just forget about corn ethanol and palm oil as biofuels. Cyanobacteria and algae are going to blow corn ethanol and palm oil away.

    The Craig Venter Institute (http://www.jcvi.org/) is pumping out some really awesome results. Craig sailed around the world twice, collecting samples in the ocean all along the way. He has a huge library of unknown algae, cyanobacteria, and bacteria samples all ready for testing.

    Regardless of what you think about alternative fuels, we need them. We will run out of fossil fuels, that is a fact. The question is only when will we run out.

    I'm not against nuclear energy, I just think we need to give biofuels a try first."

    Thanks. I try to only post what I know to be true on the subject. I have been reading up alot on it recently. I hope to get involved in some algae research soon.

  • DM is a sharp tongued shill. Calculate in the cost of securing the nuclear waste for the next 1,000,000 years and it's clear to see why nuclear produced electricity is not even close to cost effective. Electricity is the replacement for burning fossil fuels, but only if it's produced by solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and ocean/tidal technologies.

    turns out that was a different link that got copied into my address bar. unfortunately i seem to of lost that link...

    at any rate, basically what it showed was that higher energy means shorter half life
