Nuclear energy seems stupid when there are so many safer, more cost effective, hazard free and waste free alternatives.
I can't wait to see ocean wave energy as a common source:
- renewable, zero-emission
- produces fresh water directly from seawater
- buoys are submerged on the ocean floor, no aesthetic impact
- attract marine life
- minimal structural materials required
- contains no oils, lubricants, or offshore electrical components
- ratio of electrical generation to fresh water production can be quickly varied from 100% to 0% allowing for rapid variations in power demand.
- no transmission issues as 60% of the world live within 60km of a coast
- water is approx 800 times denser than air, the energy density of waves vastly exceeds that of wind
- Waves are predictable days in advance making it easy to match supply and demand
- no destroying the environment by mining for fuel sourceAnd if there is an Earthquake the worst that would probably happen is that some pipes may get damaged, not explosions and radiation pollution of the whole earth!
Why do people support Nuclear Power and uranium mining when they can support companies like this one:
