RE: Tying up loose ends nuclear power stations

in #technology8 years ago

Thank you for your very thoughtful comments. The more we talk about these issues the more people may adapt their thinking on these things and start speaking out.
The nuclear route is a disaster waiting to happen in my view. Every time one of these things go wrong it is catastrophic and the land/seas never recover.
Coal and all the rest of it are bad enough but we really need to get off these forms of power and work towards solar and wind.
As you say there is plenty of that and it's free after the setup costs. There are issues with the creation of solar panels but it pales into insignificance in comparison to a nuclear 'accident'.
I do hope you (and me) manage to get ourselves some of these alternative technologies and reep the benefits of knowing that our footprint at least is not contributing to the mess we are making of the planet.
