I am sick of all the hype about nuclear power.. It may be a good power source, but it is a terrible "waste" source for us, and the bottom line is that the US is leaving a MASSIVE carbon footprint by not reusing the byproducts, and also by claiming ignorance to the many many other means at our disposal for sustainability.
Plenty of threads in energy have disproved this entire statement, I look forward to you posting, there really is a lot you can respond to, maybe you can pick up the ball that Old Crock dropped.
YES people DO steal spent uranium. It DOES happen. This is not some kind of massive lie
Spent Nuclear fuel from a commercial reactor in the USA has used only 3-5% of its energy. I wonder how a theif would steal a fuel rod and protect himself from radiation, just one second next to one fuel rod would evaporate the theif. It would not make him sick, he would simply disappear.
The problem with people are they have no understanding of the vast differences in the power of nuclear compared to all other sources combined. Nukes smoke everything, massive amounts of endless energy.
As far as water goes, a nuke uses less than windmills must be built, that takes energy and massive amounts of water, the E Glass Furnace will use more water in one year than a nuclear power plant uses in 40 years.
Nuclear power plants have multiple closed loop systems which recycle water.
Anyhow I dont see anyone posting anything that even comes close to being an arguement that supports the wild claims made by the green energy crowd.
One ton of fiberglass, how much energy is used to make one ton of energy and what are the types that must be used.
If the green energy supporters will not and cannot answer that simple question than green energy is without a doubt too expensive, too polluting, massively subsidized, and very weak, profiting the very rich, profiting the politicians.
