Is that a joke?

Indian Point

India - the superpower

nuclear power

It's in Vermont, Asher. Indian refers to feather, not red dot.

Someone convince me that Albie is just a master of deadpan commentary.

Nuclear power

Fricking hippies who think we should power the country with windmills

**FuXA8nQM** · 11-09-2010, 05:21 PM

That's because they're all old because idiots wanted to ban the construction of new plants.

Pretty much this. 'Environmentalists' have a lot to answer for.

I take it that the people in New Mexico who fought Yucca Mountain are dirty hippies, then?

Nuclear power is great, except for the waste. The waste has to be stored (for a very, very long time) carefully. If we were to ramp up nuclear power (say, by building 50 new plants), we would also be ramping up the waste stream significantly. That means you don't need Yucca Mountain - you need a whole lot more. And you have to be confident in the waste storage plan, going forward for however long the stuff remains seriously radioactive.

Confident in that, are you?

Well, which is a more gigantic engineering challenge: finding a way to process or safely store nuclear waste, or finding a way to make solar/wind energy farms practical?

You mean Nevada?

-Arrian Do you know how little space the waste takes up and how much space is available in Nowhere, Nevada, totally devoid of people or life anyone gives a **** about?

Do you realize how long nuclear fuel lasts? They don't produce that much waste! In contrast, Yucca mountain is huge!

Just build the new reactors on top of the old ones

**borasolit** · 11-16-2010, 03:52 PM

Why? Just fill them up solid with concrete, and build on top
