I don't think so. Please see video. Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, among others have put this video together.

This American for one wants more nuclear reactors built, even in my own back yard. We had a nuclear power plant, the Shoreham Plant just a few miles from my house and the tree huggers and fear mongers made the authorities shut it down.

Certain people don't want coal burned, don't want oil burned , don't want pollutants spewed into the air but they also don't want nuclear power. What kind of power do they want, magic pixie dust?

Don't you think good progress is being made with wind and solar power?

As soon as I saw Bonnie Rait and jackson Brown I tuned out. WTF do they know about nuclear power?

I don't think nuclear power is the only answer. I think it is part of the answer along with solar, wind, hydro, tidal, wave, geothermal and other sources of power. I do think nuclear power should be a large part of the solution though.

I truly Tink one quickie lesson to be learn't by the age
of consent is to by all means Dig Music and Go to concerts,
maybe git stoned in the name of yer Fav Band or Musician,but
Never,I mean N-e-v-e-R, git so Loopy and mesmerizingly
Befuddled as to actually tink one a Dem Bandies is got what
it takes to decide or even Lucidly comment on the Affairs
of State.
Being a Musician or in a Band,should Literally Disqualify one from
ANY noteworthy ability to decipher Politics.

OK,now what do you think.?
And please try not to use the word " Think ".
Lest one furgit that is virtually how Al Sharpton starts every udder
sentence.

Properly maintained and monitored, nuclear power is one of the most efficient and practical sources of electricity available. I would rather see a new nuclear power plant than a new coal or gas fired one.

My thoughts exactly.

...one can't discount that Keb' Mo' is also a highly acclaimed Nuclear power expert. I think he is working on a new fission reactor method at the moment.

Yes please, I'd love that magic pixie dust. Can I use it to run my cars as well?

Sorry, I have the world's only supply and I have just enough for my family and me. Haven't purchased gas or fuel oil in three decades. Everything runs on pixie dust.

Since that leak at,in,Pennsylvannia,years ago,safety has been tightened.

I would be concerned for security with nuclear plants.

Also,if it takes thousands of years for radioactive waste to become safe surely within that timescale newer technologies will have been found.

Methane possibly.

I've been producing methane for many years now, much to my wife's chagrin.

Maybe she should lite it,and see ow combustable it is.
Would u pass that idea on to her fromme,thanks.

No way, paul. I'm not giving her any NEW ways to torment me.

It might even end up as badly as this:

:D

We need nuclear power until some other cleaner technology matures. Nuclear right now is the cleanest we have. Also, if we all want electric cars, where is the electricty going to come from? More coal? no way! Coal burning is the worst for the environment.

WIth Nuclear, the only problem is the waste. Maybe we can send to mars?:)

It would cost gazillions of dollars to send nuke waste into space - and if we did, why send it to Mars - especially when there are plans for visiting & even setting up colonies there? Sending it to the sun would be the preferable direction.

or reprocess it, and put it back in the hole that we got it out of.

That video did nothing to prove that nuclear reactors are a bad idea. They are the nearly the cleanest and the most efficient source of energy we have to date. All the video did was play a song and state people's opinions.

In 2004, the average cost of producing nuclear energy in the United States was less than two cents per kilowatt-hour, comparable with coal and hydroelectric. Advances in technology will bring the cost down further in the future.

More than 600 coal-fired electric plants in the United States produce 36 percent of U.S. emissions -- or nearly 10 percent of global emissions -- of CO2, the primary greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. -Source (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/14/AR2006041401209.html)
