Jenda:
Well, with that I agree. It is a non-renewable, not a fossil.
skyman8081:
Except that fissionable material isn't going to run out for a long time.
The 50 years number, that I know will get thrown out here, is from existing reserves with current mining techniques, and doesn't account for other reserves and techniques. And doesn't take into account the fact that the other nuclear fuel, thorium-232.
ALL resources run out. We shouldn't discard a useful, and viable method of power generation, because it will run out of fuel one day.
Do you wan't humanity to live naked in the bush? Because thats EXACTLY where we will be if you continue that line of thought. The slippery slope goes both ways fuckers.

Live with it. It works, and it works in the feild.
Communism has never worked outside the lab/book.

I'd like to see more than anecdotal evidence for that. Because, to my knowledge, true textbook open-market capitalism has never been tried. True Marxism has never been tried either. What we have can be characterised by "technocratic regulated capitalism". Meaning that the microeconomics of current US society are based on trade secrets, branding, and government regulation, as opposed to perfect supply and demand and marginal utility.

--- Quote from: Jenda ---Where the FUCK do you get this shit from??? Please enlighten me if I am mistaken, but the Nazis were officially The Nationalist Socialist Party - i.e definite left, nothing about capitalism whatsoever!
No comment to the second POC.

Yes, but if Capitalist France wasn't so fucking greedy after World War One, Germany wouldn't have got so fucked up to get in that position.
Also: FACISM is the far right.
China is facist, they call themselves communist, but then the conservatives in Australia call themselves Liberals, China is the far right. As was the Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany.

OK, so I've said that writing some program and keeping it to yourself (greed) is evil. Therefore, I won't support that program, instead I'll support/create an alternative to that program.
--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---Alright you haven't directly said it but you've implied it, by saying something's evil it means you hate it and therefore should be eliminated and if you eliminate all proprietary software only free software will be left.
--- End quote ---
Exactly correct. The fact that I would like to see non-free software eliminated does not mean that I'd even support some totalitarian policy to eliminate it, so don't assume so.
I like the way things are hopefully headed - non-free software eating up market share bit by bit (people chosing it because the software is just plain better (and it will be better (I did say that this is the way things are hopefully headed.).), and hopefully because they like the philosophical end of it too.). And then, when the non-free software companies decide they can't compete, they make their software free.

Nuclear energy isn't renewable. It has some other disadvantages - but they've already been discussed.
I'd like to see more renewable energy being produced in the future.
