| HappySqurriel said: The truth about Nuclear power is that it can be some of the safest and cleanest power sources in the world but propaganda based on 1950s/1960s American/Russian styled nuclear power plants ... In part because Canadians didn't have the heavy industry, did not have the enrichment facilities, and were not looking for military applications of nuclear power, the Canadian designed Candu reactor is a much larger design which can use a much lower grade of fuel and is (over all) far safer than many other reactor designs. The real problem with Nuclear power is the time it takes to construct the facilities, and the resistance there is to any facilities being constructed ... If it takes 15 to 25 years to build a nuclear plant and you need 1 plant per 100,000 people to replace our dependance on fossil fuels how many nuclear plants should be under construction today to no longer need fossil fuels by 2030? |
What? Half a million years isn't a problem?
We got plenty of room in Australia, and you better believe its prime real estate (deserts), but screw dealing with a problem for that amount of time. A little bit of cash from the french, chinese or american governments simply won't cover 500,000 years while waiting for rods/equiptment to "cool" down.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
