You have to understand the “feudalist” mentality of the leftist elitists.
THEY DON’T WANT US TO USE ENERGY
and have the comfortable lifestyle that only they should enjoy.
Yes, and once you take down the Congressional law that bans reprocessing, it will last us a real long time. If France can, we can.
Which is why they won't let it happen. They don't want a solution. They want the US to be energy poor so the other folks can move ahead of us.
“They” are NOT looking for a “Solution”!!!
This administration wants American business and industry to FAIL, as that is necessary for maximizing citizen dependence on “government services”.
Turn the smart people loose on FUSION. Then report the results.
Not backing nuclear power is proof that global warming is a hoax. If it is so improtant to do now, why are we not building nukes? Why do coal fired plants still produce electricity - becasue there is no crisis.
The bottom line: solar energy, which is the source of biomass/grain/sugar, is just too diffuse to provide the energy we need for transportation.
The only solution is nuclear energy.
I agree 100%... but only up to this point.
The problem is, the pinhead prof wants to use the nukes to make artificial gasoline...
(Good grief, where do these morons keep coming up with these brainfarts?)
The obvious solution is to use the nukes to supply power through the grid to electrically powered mass-transit systems (high-speed rail, light rail and maglev).
The problem is.. the 'Rats are anti-nuke to the point of stupidity.
And the GOP has it's collective head stuck up it's butt even farther when it comes to mass transit.
My proposal: toss out all the partisan bums and elect somebody with some common sense.
you’d have a hard time even locating a copy of The China Syndrome on any video store shelf, yet it holds this nation’s future hostage so many years hence
But I don’t to live near any place like three mile island.
Even the sainted corn ethanol plants produce CO2 and the manufacture of the tens of thousands of windmills and solar panels that would be needed to generate even a fraction of our electricity consumption will also add to CO2 emissions. Nuclear power is the only means to practically replace the burning of fossil fuels, yet environmentalists won’t hear of it.
The "diffuse" argument is simply bullshit. It applies only to bombs and military transportation (subs and aircraft carriers). Once solar is converted to electricity (as nuclear would have to be), it is just "watts at the wall". There is ZERO difference as far as "diffuseness" is concerned.
I'm all in favor of nuclear (I have an educational background in nuclear topics), but PLEASE, let's stick to real arguments.
It is not the only solution. It is one of many solutions. And a good one.
We have 3000 mw worth of wind turbines installed in IOWA. They provide more power than our one nuke and over 10 percent of the electrical power Iowa uses.
Uranium needs to be used generate lots of clean, safe nuclear energy. Then we can drive clean hydrogen powered cars, and cut Iran and Saudi Arabia out of our energy equation.
There were supposed to be 10 units, but because of political opposition in the late 1970's, they only built 3.
The current growth in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Tucson has been largely borne by those 3 units.
And no problems. Imagine if they had built the originally planned installation.
I don’t know that Nuclear is the only solution. But it is the only proven viable solution that we know of that doesn’t use fuels thought to fossil fuels of finite origin.
Any plan that doesn’t build nuclear is a “bet the farm”, “energy shortage”, “give the middle east too much power” strategy.

The future of nuclear is cold fusion.

The US has enough oil to supply all of it’s needs. The real problem is the cartel of environmentalists that work with corporations and politicians to make laws that create supply shortages so all of the players in their corrupt racket profit.
