Nuclear waste disposal -- what do you think about this?

[Flagg]

Karn for president unless he messes with the guns then I will give him a frown

That's food for thought, how would anyone feel about a President with a scientific background?

Back on topic, the future really is NUCLEAR. It's a shame the general public hear the word nuclear and fear the worst but the sooner the world get's with the idea of going nuclear the better, and not so much from the stance that it's Environmentally friendly, I mean that not withstanding is great in it's own right, but the simple fact is fossil fuels will be gone within 60 years. We need to look for alternatives now. Many politicians are accused of only looking a few weeks into the future rather than long term, so I for one am happy that Brown is actually DOING SOMETHING worthwhile by investing in nuclear powerplants in the UK. France has been doing it for years and they have the cleanest air and cheapest electricity in the whole of Europe. My only concern isn't so much waste, but decommisioning Nuclear Plants. I don't know if it's in accurate or just media hype, but doesnt it cost somewhere like 500 million pounds to decommision a plant? I hope that's wrong.

Should watch who killed the electric car and see the effort gm put into erasing the ev1 from history, fuk gm I would love one of those things but they don't want anything messing with big oil. I think nuclear power is the answer. It's funny how people freak out about it all the while seeing hundreds of train cars filled with coal passing by their house to be burned, wtf?

The electric car is coming, when the plug in hybrids enter the market big time atleast the entire ethanol hype will die and all other biofuel b.s.

I guess people arent afraid of coal because everyone has seen it burning and its hard to imagine just how many die each year(500 000 worldwide, something like 50 000-70 000 in the US) because of coal pollution. But almost no one has any experience with radiation and the environmentalist propaganda has been extremely sucessfull in making people think radiation is the devil.

I just did a quick search about decomisioning cost. The projected cost of dismantling the the two reactors in Loviisa Finland is 216 million euroes spread over 27 years. Roughly 100 million euros for a reactor sounds about right. Thats not even a tenth of the construction cost(1-3 billion) so not to overwhelming, especialy not considering that most current reactors can have lifespans of up to 60 years with uppgrades. Putting aside 1.5 million a year for decomisioning is just pocket change for the company owning the reactors.

Brown has realy kickstarted the discussions about nuclear again. Most swedes are pro nuclear now and even in nuclear hating germany things seems to be changing.

Germany is about to build the worlds largest solarpower station, and even then it will only be able to power 10,000 homes. They said they would also "sell" solar panels to homeowners to power their home, the asking fee.....oh a mere 25,000 pounds.
