France derives over 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy has the lowest cost electricity in Europe, and extremely low level of CO2 emissions per capita from electricity generation.

As far as storage of waste, the US can do what France does – ship it to Russia. the US COULD store it at Yucca mountain in the middle of the Nevada desert – a great place to store spent fuel rods.

If France can do this, the US can do it better and more more efficiently and with less Union labor.

Wind and Solar? Yeah – those work ok in either places that are not so great for humans to live like deserts or Antarctica, or places that Ted Kennedy is going to complain about his view being obstructed (Cape Cod).

On another note – I hear Ted Kennedy has been sober for 6+ months today – a personal best.

Now we can all start complaining about 3 Mile Island, I mean that was in the US. And massive “unknown quantities” of radiation were released, that never killed anyone or caused unusual levels of illness. Meaning no radiation was released.

Nuclear is simply the cheapest, easiest, and safest option for energy. Solar and wind make everyone feel all gushy on the inside, but they are, at this point, well in their infancy and couldn’t sustain energy needs. So keep working on them, they’d be great for the future, but nuclear is what we need now.

Oh, and Yucca mountain is a great idea that is completely safe for ALL spent uranium in this country. It’s safe to transport the fuel rods there, and it’s safe to store them.

since every one can have its own opinion nobody can stop you from saying that sort of crap (<- my opinion). Imho the only true thing in your article is "But I could be wrong"…you are…believe it.
There has been always climate change, but never that fast. Thats because mankind trys hard to accelerate it with emissions and gives a damn on following generations.
If you or the republic party of US or anybody else doesnt believe in mankind powered climate catastrophe, ask an icebear or if you dont talk icebearish, aks one of the humans, sitting on an island sinking in the next 20 years. They can tell you if it is real.
Your plan to sell nuclear power plants is a great idea. (remember what i said about people that dont care of times and peaople after them?!) Not only that you have 20000 times of the risk of nuclear disasters, but you have to care about the nuclear waste to. And until now, nobody has a clue how to handle it responsible or even safe. As i said, your plan to sell them is good, if you only could change the nuclear to regenerative powerplants. If the stupid politicans all over the world wouldnt have listent to lobyists (and get payed by) past 30 something years we would have a lot less nuclear waste, more developed, ready to use in large scale, modern regenerative technology. And you could say to the iranian guys, hey why use that old style nuclear power plant thing, we have modern, responsible options for you. You could sell energy from the sun. Thats even cheaper than to deliver uran you know.
Try to open your mind for new ways of producing energy. Try to open your mind for new ways to think. Think on your own and dont listen to lobyist or lobyist driven politicans (oh my fault, there is non in the US) but keep trying to become an responsible person. As my frind says, earth will keep spinning with or without climate change, they will even spinn when there is no human life on earth, she dont cares, but we do…do we?!

yours Themakemethinkguy

You can’t power an electrical grid with intermittent sources.

Everything should be part of the clean energy mix, regardless of global warming or not, i dont want to live like I’m in Beijing.

Like J said above, other areas are suited better to other energy forms.

Also, what isnt considered by you, is that if we had 4 nuclear plants in Iran, they wouldnt be ran by us, since it would have appearance of US people controlling Iran, and then, Iran and other nations like them would have much easier access to the technology and experience.

Not so simple boss!
