when the fact is the majority of people who die from air pollution are mostly women and children who are exposed to indoor air pollution due to the fact that many of the people in third world countries are dependent on piss poor stoves and open fires for heat and cooking. not to mention also for light.
As if nukular energy would change any of that. When you look at the big picture of nukular energy from paper to energy produced it is not that clean, nor is it cheap, in fact these two are why most sane people want nothing to do with it.
Right now, today, the brains, have no idea of how to deal with Fukushima, same as they didn't know what to do with Chernobyl. At least the Russians had the good sense to encapsulate theirs with concrete and now with the huge steel arch, that has been in the making for years. It does nothing for the actual problem but rather only covers it up so the release of radiation is held to a minimum. In Japan they really have no idea as to what is going on other than having to finally admit that indeed there were meltdowns of the cores, three 'cores' in fact. How to deal with that very dangerous and on going catastrophe is a seat of the pants operation. Hardly a reassuring means to deal with this as denial and obfuscation is not a plan.
On paper nuclear energy is the cats meow, (I agree,) but in reality it's one of the most dangerous means of obtaining the energy we so need in todays world. Due to the Lie that nuclear energy is, cheap, safe and clean we've lost 60 some odd years where we could have been researching and developing more benign ways to obtain the energy our world depends on.
Anyone who takes these screeds as anything except what they really are, which is, an angry man who is railing against anyone who does not agree with him concerning nukular energy, are barking at the moon.
Its his way or the highway, hardly what this place's stated purpose is as I understand the rules of this group.
