Germany is rethinking its nuclear plant strategy. They temporarily shut down seven of its nuclear power plants:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/busine…Also in Switzerland the Japan disaster caused politics to rethink nuclear plant plans. All plans for building a new nuclear plant in Switzerland have been cancelled atm.
- pandering to the hysteria, they didn't have problems with those reactors last weekanimatedgif

Nuclear? No thanks.

Nuclear clearly is never going to be 100% safe...and yet at the same time look at oil and the need to drill in less and less optimal circumstances, leading to the potential for environmental catastrophe (BP oil spill etc).
Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this stuff. Once oil production peaks, an energy crisis on a scale never seen before is on its way, and there is not going to be an easy answer.

It will be an interesting (and ongoing) debate/discussion. Everyone shut up about oil when BP f'd up, but now it is back to "drill, drill, drill".
I don't know which side to stand on. One on hand, it seems stupid and naive to put so much at risk building nukes and dangerous drilling. On the other hand, I don't want the economy to slip worse, putting many on the streets, etc. (which would happen if we can't continue to produce cheap energy).
Hopefully we can move forward as safely as possible, going slowly towards green.
This was pretty interesting: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2…

The news in Japan just continues to get worse. NYT now reporting:
"the nuclear fuel in all three reactors is likely to melt down, which would lead to wholesale releases of radioactive material — by far the largest accident of its kind since the Chernobyl disaster 25 years ago"
- Fucking horrible, just horrible. Poor people.HijoDMaite
- .. all four potentially. Truly awful.lukus_W2

Talking of energy this might be a valid time to mention jacque fresco
and his...
http://www.thevenusproject.com/there are infinite sources of energy availible to us -
geothermal (probably the most lucrative)
tidal
solar
windwhy don't we harness this energy at extremely little cost, considering it's output?
Because you can't make money off electricity. You get oil, you get countries in price wars, you sell oil, you get rich.
So instead of investing in technologies for alternative power, corporations avoid it and buy out anyone who invents an effecient alternative to fuel powered engines.

Then there is the subject of the UK having stupid amounts of coal ready to burn for good energy. But do we use it? No. We buy oil from other countries. Why? You tell me.
- The combustion of coal contributes the most to acid rain and air pollutionernexbcn
- yeah, coal is pretty bad.akrok
- and it costs too much to get it out of the groundrupedixon
- because we killed the mining industry here remember, and it's way more dirty than nuclearanimatedgif

Power isn't a free meal.
Nuclear is still best.
Go ahead and power one neighborhood with a huge wave energy machine that doesn't even exist.
7 people have died because of nuclear accidents (not including the few thousand who lived near chernobyl who died of cancer years later). Coal? Try 100,000+ since it's inception.

As green as I am, that WavePower post above is borderline hyperbole.detritus - shhhhhhhtt

This whole ordeal is a call for everyone to seriously investigate and develop alternatives.
