Nuclear Power - your thoughts? (survey)

Then you need to look again. My facts are correct.

Huh????? Your information is all about fossil fuel plants. You do know the difference between nuclear and fossil, don't you?

And please do show me where I said that nuclear power is "all sunshine". I'm opposed to nuclear power, guy. You must have missed that part.

I also said nothing about "workers' shoes". I talked about the contamination booties used by those workers who specifically enter the reactor compartment while it's shut down, a reference that you evidently don't understand.

Dude, you're the one who said you knew nothing about nuclear power. Which I might add your post bears out in abundance.

Let me clarify for you what I was talking about in reference to "pollution". Nuclear plants do not spew tons of emissions into the environment 24/7 like fossil-fueled plants do. They do not spew anything, except water slightly warmed by the process of condensing the steam used to spin the electric turbines.

The spent fuel rods we have been talking about only come about during reactor refueling operations, which happen every few years. Thus, nuclear plants do not "pollute" in the same sense that fossil plants do. They do produce high-level radioactive material, which is removed during refueling. That is the stuff that I object to.

 

Lmao calm down, my bad in a few area's. You said something as blunt as "Almost none, in fact" at first and that's what I mainly took in. All I'm talking about is pollution, to say they almost don't pollute just sounds ridiculous lol. I don't need to know much about nuclear power plants just to know that a result of them is pollution. Just like I don't need to know why a murderer went to jail.

This threads title says "Nuclear Power- Your thoughts?" I'm obviously generalizing the subject. This type of plant and that type of plant is not the point. The point is Nuclear Power, my thoughts. What is the inevitable result of nuclear power and the production of it? Pollution. Do I advocate pollution?, well it's pretty evident that I do not, hence why it's a dream of mine to see it being managed in a way that does not harm the very environment that sustains us and our future.

 

So we're back to "I don't know anything, I just know it's bad".

You do if you're going to discuss them intelligently.

 

You seem to miss the point a lot, I don't know if you should speak of intelligence with any sense of authority ;p

 

swooosh, no offense, but you do come across slightly mixed up sometimes...as my earlier intervention highlights, IMHO.
I'll leave the ass whooping to the bad cop, though.

 

I'm not really mixed up, like I said I could care less about the subject itself, I just don't advocate forms of pollution. Those are my thoughts on this subject and has been since my first post. Also, I have always been curious on what it would be like when these things really do start to impact the environment even more heavily, which is why I asked for those links.

 

LOL ... a typical subterfuge. Try to mask ignorance with bluster. Argue with yourself, dude.

 

Nah. What I said is still open for you to discuss, so drag on with the remarks if you wish.

 

Ooh, brain sucker.

 

Ghandi Spree whats up?

 

The opposite of down. I think that all of these, what to do about energy questions, are diversionary tactics on the face of it.

 

Face of what?

 

The energy systems of the planet. First sequester then redistribute.

 

I'm not catching your drift.

 

Possibly not your own personal point of view.
I just mean relating that to what others have said and the comments you have made about what others have said...if that makes sense.

 

There is no energy shortage. The problem is our inability to come to equatable terms in our own relationships to things.

 

So based on how you define sequester, you're basically suggesting authorities seclude the energy forms, and then redistribute it according to their whims? Or am I misunderstanding you?

Yeah I'm kind of confused now

 

I'm yoh huckleberry.

 

In one sense, it is true that there is no energy shortage. For instance, we will never run out of oil, despite what you hear. But what will happen is that over time it will get more and more expensive. The rising cost will drive the search for alternatives. At some point, oil will be so expensive that no one can afford to burn it anymore. What little remains might be used for other purposes, such as lubrication.

The real issue is how do we create a future of safe, affordable, and sustainable energy systems that support human happiness.

 

Well, there are issues and there is reality. The fact is such a system is inherently available.
