Nuclear is finite, as well – there is a fixed amount of uranium in the ground. So, it is unsustainable at at least three levels.

Solar heat is a *far* better way to boil water. Much lower carbon, no fuel at all, and virtually no waste.

Long term waste storage is on the taxpayer. As it most of the liability in the event of a significant meltdown.

Storage is never calculated into the cost of nuclear. Neither is the extra capacity needed in the event of reactors going off line.

Since the US government has promised to “take care” of the waste, they have conveniently left it out of the energy overhead calculations.

Coal median 1,001 grams

Nuclear median 12 grams (4 to 110 gram range)

Wind energy median 11 grams (3 to 45 gram range)

Amorphous silicon solar 20 grams

Cadmium-telluride solar 14 grams

Copper indium gallium diselenide solar 26 grams

CSP trough solar 26 grams

CSP tower solar 38 grams

11 grams is 1.1% of coal’s carbon footprint

38 grams is 3.8% of coal’s carbon footprint

110 grams is 11% of coal’s carbon footprint

Renewable energy can be used to build the next generation of renewable systems; while nuclear plants only last 40-60 years and they cannot be used to build the next generation.

And there is the tiny problem of radioactivity and highly poisonous plutonium…

But that’s a blessed lie.It is a downright lie.That was a bold face lie.An outright lie.A blazing lie.A downright lie.An out-and-out lie.A barefaced lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First point, an intercept wall against water is still under construction.Completely blocked???????????????????

An underwater curtain called “SILT FENCE” is installed at the gate of the East breakwater in order to prevent expansion of the radioactivity in the gulf.

But there is no “SILT FENCE” between the North breakwater and South breakwater .

At least,Japan should build a new “SILT FENCE” between the North breakwater and South breakwater quickly.

I think that scientists of all over the world will begin to criticize lies and bluffs of Prime Minister Abe soon.

Prime Minister Abe spends public funds and is going to install an ice wall under the ground , but every scientist insists that an ice wall does not last for a long time.

Even if they hope to let the ground freeze all the time, the ice wall will collapse if a cooling machine breaks down.

There aren’t any scientists insisting that contaminated water is turned off by the method of an ice wall under the ground,old humbug Abe .

Please spread this information in order to perform “the Shelter Implementation Plan which were covered with special material like Chernobyl for preventing the radioactivity diffusion and an outflow of the contaminated water” for Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

I want to protect Japan .

Wildly off the mark. Nuclear, wind, and solar are all about the same for carbon intensity: 10s of grams per kilowatt-hour versus 100s for fossil fuels.

Constructing the dry casks uses carbon fuels.
Decommissioning the power plant takes a lot of carbon fuels – this takes about as long to do as the productive lifespan of the power plant – about 40 years!
Long term nuclear waste storage has to remain secure and safe and not leak for THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS!

The numbers I have seen are that a nuclear power plant produces about 2/3’s as much carbon as coal. We can argue about the exact number, but the fact remains that nuclear is *not* a carbon free energy source.

And the fact remains that nuclear power is an incredibly dangerous and very costly way TO BOIL WATER.

C’mon folks – can you think of a better way to boil water?

You will learn about gamed epidemiological studies near nuclear power plants that have revealed (before they were gamed) a consistent pattern of cancer clustering around nuclear power plants. And they are mostly childhood cancers, by the way.

You will learn how radioisotopes (at allegedly benign levels according to our government) destroy the ability of DNA to self repair and increase cancerous cells by switching off the apoptosis (programmed natural cell death after a normal life span) in cells.

Here’s some info the pro-nuclear folks, when they aren’t vociferously denying how dangerous these poison factories called nuclear power plants are, always fail to mention.

“A big 1,250 megawatt nuclear plant produces the equivalent of 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year during its life.”

” At least 450 former uranium miners have already died of lung cancer, five times the national average.”
