well the reality is that nuclear power IS extremely efficient at providing tonssss of power and frankly causes WAY less damage to the planet than continually using fossil fuels. That said, obviously like any powerful thing it can be extremely dangerous. if people could be trusted and everything was done to the exact t and how it should be, then nuclear power would be by far the most logical power source for the planet at this point, both for preserving human kind and the planet itself. Obviously though there's human error to consider and the disasters that can be involved. All I know though is that the majority of incidents where nuclear power plants have caused disasters have been in circumstances where the power plant was in an arguably questionable location (Japan islands) OR being run by an extremely on edge super power (the Soviet Union). The vast majority of the time (basically 99.9% of the time) nuclear power plants have ran perfectly fine with a tonnnn of safecalls and procedural activities to make sure nothing goes awry. I'm just pointing out that the debates about nuclear power being so dangerous is not entirely logical. The giant oil spill in the Gulf a few years ago or whatever did far more damage to the ecosystem than any nuclear power plant issue ever has. Nuclear plant is as viable, if not MORE viable than using fossil fuels. Anyone under the delusion that constantly using fossil fuels is not damaging the human race AND the planet is looking with their eyes closed. Nuclear power just ends up creating waste, it doesn't activitely really hurt the planet like burning a kajillion gallons of fuel and coal does. Although in a perfect world we'd find a way to take more advantage of solar, wind turbine, or ocean current power. Its unfortunate that its still quite expensive and/or awkward geograpichally to successful use those means of power |
