Quote by: tivodan1116  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? |
Geolocic activity.
Nobidy can garuntee that the chosen places won't become geologically active in the time required for the rods to lose their radioactive status.
