| I don't see why there is a "debate" at all about nuclear power...
Take two or three Yucca Mountain-like places in the world, places where no one wants to live anyway, and bury all of the waste there while it cools.
So in exchange for seriously f*cking up three or four already unlivable spots in the world, we all get clean safe power on small footprints (MW of generating power over affected square feet of land - nuclear is much more efficient than say wind or hydro) for the next 150 years or so.
Unless you live on Yucca Mountain, what's the downside?
Don't forget... Lawyers were writing the Constitution while doctors were still bleeding people with leeches... |
