The latest edition of Imprimis, has an article by William Tucker, making a very good case for the use of Nuclear Energy in the USA. Definately worth a read, even if you’re not interested, you will probably learn a lot!
“France has been providing 90 percent of their Electicity with Nuclear Power for 25 years, without an accident. And stores ALL of it’s Nuclear waste in a single room”
“Three Mile Island did not blow up, (physically impossible), it did melt down. No one was injured, and the amount of radiation released was less than a chest x-ray” This is because the Three Mile Island plant was correctly built. Chernobyl melted down, and spewed radioactive material across the globe, because it was NOT correctly built.
Bottom Line: When dealing with Nuclear Power, one must do things correctly.
The US produces 50 percent of it’s electricity from Coal, A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING.
Natural Gas, is the cleanest form of Energy. We have comparibly limited supplies. Russia and the Middle East have basically unlimited supplies of Natural Gas. The former Soviet Union, China, India, and Europe, has access to a boundless supply of cheap, clean energy in Natural Gas.
