Freedom from fission
Aloone_Jonez:
For what it's worth here's my opinion;
Nuclear bombs are bad and do have the potential to destroy the earth but I honestly don't know whether I support nuclear energy or not because I don't know enough about it. Fossil fuels will one day run out but currently renewables can't fully replace them (at least with current technology), at the moment nuclear fuel seems the next best choice as they don't release and greenhouse gasses but there's the problem of the radioactive waste, yes it can be reprocessed but there's still a limited number of times this can be done and there is still no safe and easy way of disposing of it.
I think the best solution for now is to stick with fossil fuels and possibly increase nuclear energy use slightly until we've developed the technology to harness renewable sources well enough to replace non-renewables.

Read "Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy and then come back and say we need to root out everything that is pestering this planet.
skyman8081:
I have to agree. you are running on the same dogma of the ELF and the Earth First! loonies.
worker201:
Thinking that human beings, especially in Western societies, use too much and waste too much and destroy too much does not make one a loony. As a matter of public opinion, someone who loudly boasts the benefits of nuclear domination would make one more of a loony.
EARTH FIRST!
toadlife:
A Fusion reactor is already in the process of being built in France.
If it works out, we can kiss fission reactors and the gobs of permanent waste they prodcuce goodbye.
