What's worse are the idiots who underplay the real problems of nuke power. I have a friend who was a nuclear technician. I know some not too pleasant things about American nuke plants. Our indutry and government doesn't treat nuke tech seriously enough to be allowed to touch the stuff.Originally posted by Odin
Actually, I think THAT it has less to do with our NIMBY culture than it is to do with Three-Mile Island. Try to buld a nuclear power plant and you'll get a bunch of eco-nuts exaggerating the dangers of nuclear power.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

The sheep herd known as Demonrats will be destroyed. OMFG!Originally posted by chegitz guevara
There's not enough oil there to justify destroying the largest free roaming herd of animals in North America. Only the most wildly specualtive estimates have it worth anything. The vast majority of estimates have it quite low."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Seriously I have heard the arguements that there isn't much oil to be had, point of fact my wife who wonce upon a time wasinthe biz claims so as well. My point is let the conglomerates explore and see if anything pans out. Until such time as known reserves numbers are finalized this is simply pissing and moaning w/o known benefits/costs by either side."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

wrong. Nuclear power plants are very safe. It's more safe than bringing in liquified natural gas (LNG). Though there hasn't been a major incident since WW2 in Ohio. We have nearly perfected transporting that stuff.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

The reason nuclear power is not practical is because of the cost, and lack of availability of uranium. And most importantly the waste.
Nuclear waste is why I'm against nuclear power (despite having worked in navy nuclear power plants). We still have no way of dealing with the waste we are producing. My ship underwent nuclear refueling and complex overhaul. Our reactor cores are still sitting in Newport News shipyard I believe- in a tank of water.
Nuclear fission power is not practical for wide scale use.Comment

We should send every Republican member of the House and Senate a copy of The Lorax.
Surely if 5 year old kids can understand the value of environmentalism from that book, a bunch of rethugs can.
Or perhaps I'm giving them too much credit...

Too late. It already constitutes 20% of the electricity supply in the US.Nuclear fission power is not practical for wide scale use.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

There are lots of alternatives to oil but they all cost more then oil. Even at the current high prices oil is the cheapest option by far.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly
We're America, dammit! I can't believe we can't come up with an alternative to oil. We're just not trying, or not trying hard enough.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Why is it that normal people see a beautiful example of nature's bounty, but Republicans can only see a potential blackened, stinking wasteland bereft of all life?
