No, they are not handing out bottled water and od rations after a disaster. They are handing out solar panels for every household in the country and household sized windmills. Someone had finally woken up to the fact that coal burning and nuclear power plants were a bad idea. <BR/><BR/>But then I wake up and realise that it is only a dream and I can't see any government being brave enough to take such a step.Margaret's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736694208684946814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741946524740642424.post-87319242592476368612008-11-07T20:02:00.000-08:002008-11-07T20:02:00.000-08:00That's what concerns me most about Nuclear power, ...That's what concerns me most about Nuclear power, not the PRODUCTION of the nuclear power, but the inability to REALLY safely and properly dispose of the used fuel. Reportedly, 3 Mile Island in the US was a success, as far as safely shutting down with potential melt-down in a way that kept harm from happening (where as Chernoble was a complete disaster), but that still doesn't take into account the fact that the fuel used in Nuclear Power production cannot and willnot EVER truly be discarded safely. Burying it for future generations to find in deep holes in the ground, or in the ocean, is NOT true disposal. And sending it into space is a whole 'nother hazard altogether (not to mention just wrong, cluttering up the beauty of space with more trash).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting these details, Peter!Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.com
