Nuclear Power Options

[blaarg]

I was on facebook and saw an ad wanting me to sign a petition to stop a new bill that would give more funding towards nuclear energy (supported by moveon.org). I'm an environmentalist and support nuclear energy...I don't really understand moveon's position (another Chernobyl OMGGG?!)

Building new atomic reactors in an age of terror threats is not only scary, but the toxic waste from nuclear power threatens our health and our planet.

hmm, seems they are using the terrorist scare tactic as well...I'm a democrat, but on certain issues moveon is fucking crazy to me...

I understand the whole toxic waste, but it is fairly minimal and can be quarantined in isolated remote parts. Plus it can produce ample more energy than are coal based systems (which are also not very environmentally friendly)... Plus developed countries (like France) has shown that it can work.

Of course we should, but labor unions own the democratic party, and coal mines and coal fired power plants not only are the most heavily polluting entities by themselves in the world, they're are run by, you guessed it, labor unions!!! YAY!!!!

ever wonder why such filthy things such as coal-fired power plants somehow got exempted from the clean air act 20-some years ago? Wow, that wouldn't have been because the labor unions bought off jmmy carter? WHy are they STILL exempt? That couldn't be because the AFL-CIO buys off every democrat in washington?

Nah, Coal is WONDERFUL, the democrats say so and THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CARE ABOU THE ENVIRONMENT SO VOTE FOR THEM!!!!



Nuclear power is the only thing that will make a hydrogen economy work, even in part.

But it will never come to pass because people are too illiterate to understand the good it would do
