Better we work on filtering technology then creating more nuclear
waste that can't be gotten rid of, only stored. Then there's the
issue that a nuke plant is essentially a dirty bomb ripe to be detonated.
Not really & even if it were true do you know how many components of
bombs are found in everyday life? Just ask the victim's families of
the Oklahoma City bombing. Point is just because the components are
there doesn't mean they make a good bomb. The components are there
in your car but that doesn't mean we should stop driving. Heck one
could get sun burned if precautions aren't taken. India & Japan all
use nukes successfully & we're losing ground economically to them
every day. I know for a fact they weren't designed to the constraints
that the plants in the US were. Heck in the US plants we designed for
non radiated water pipes to whiplash & the main turbine to be hit by
a telephone pole during a tornado & the odds were still very very low
of radiation leaks. The odds were higher if you step off a curb in bo-dunk.
Fuel-cell + Battery + Ethanol sound like they could be good tech if
that's what the market was buying as a whole for cars. Add to that,
Solar could be viable to power homes.
One needs sunlight for that & we certainly don't get enough of that
in the northern half of the US otherwise people wouldn't suffer from
blues in the winter.
