We are concerned about waste- reprocess the spent fuel like France does and store all waste beyond reprocessing's capabilities in cooling pools at the plants (for now). Is nuclear a resource that we may run out of in another century or so? Yes. However, with the reprocessing capabilities and improvements in that field, maybe we have more than 100yrs to be concerned with that aspect and we have at least that long to develop new and improved energy delivery methods. Think about how far we've already come in the last 100yrs... are you going to assume that we won't have improvements just as dramatic in the next 100? Seems pretty logical to me.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that nuclear power plants are engineered in such a manner today that even if a terrorist was to drop a bomb on a power plant, the chance of having another Chernobyl (unless the bomb itself was a nuke) are VERY slim. The rest of the world is waking up to nuclear energy and building new nuclear power plants at an astounding rate. Before you know it, America will once again find itself playing catch up with those around us- rushing to keep up and spending billions upon billions of dollars to get it done yesterday.

It takes 10 yrs to build a new nuclear power plant... the time to act is NOW!]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:03:47 -0400

While vehicles and general transport is slowly replaced by more environmentally friendly means (hydrogen, cellulosic ethanol, electric, ceramic engines), we need a power source that can power large city grids. There might be enough coal out there to power America for centuries to come but we would then subject ourselves to acid rain, intollerable drinking water and thick clouds of smog (anyone seen what China's cities have become?). Nuclear power is the answer and the rest of the word sees it except the U.S.

While China, India, France and many others continue to make advances in nuclear energy and build new reactors to satisfy their power needs, we sit on our hands- ignoring the inevitable. I fear such idle waiting will lead to the next great war as nations around the world begin hoarding oil and natural gas while prohibiting their export. Consider if you will how much oil the United States of America consumes and how much of that oil must be imported. Imagine taking that away and what lengths we would go to in order to ensure the great machine doesn't come to a grinding holt. A scary prospect my friends!!]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 15:17:35 -0400
