Well the title says it all. With all this talk of getting independance from foriegn oil should we be pursuing nuclear energy more enthusiasticly? Is it safe from terrorism? How much could we save?
Should the US convert more to nuclear power

Re: Should the US convert more to nuclear power
Im a supporter of nuclear power myself, i think it combined with renewable energy sources (wind farms, those tide power things ect.) is the way forward.
BTW answers yes incase you didn't guess..

Re: Should the US convert more to nuclear power
Yes, I wholeheartedly (sp?) believe the US should switch to cleaner energy sources, such as nuclear, solar, wind etc.
The only problem I can see, besides a repeat of 3 mile island (which isn't likely to happen) is security from terrorism, but I think we should be able to handle it.
Re: Should the US convert more to nuclear power
I am a supporter of Nuclear Power, so long as it is done safely and away from main population centres.

Re: Should the US convert more to nuclear power
So since NZ has a tiny population the world could use it?
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

The problem with nuclear energy is with long power lines lotsa power is lost.
I support it if it is done safely and away from dense population cities and is supported by wind, hydro, solar and other clean powers. Oh yeah and if we learn from 3 Mile ISland and Chernobyl.

Re: Should the US convert more to nuclear power
I don't think NZ will ever accept it. It still beats burning oil and coal.

Re: Should the US convert more to nuclear power
When you do the calculations, any calcuations, there's no comparison.
Nuclear power yields more electricty per dollar of fuel injected.
It's a more efficient transfer of energy.
There's much, much, much less waste.
Treated properly, it's safer than any other means of generating that kind of power.
The whole myth about nuclear power being 'terrible' is the one way the French still lead the world. My hat's off to them for being brave enough to not believe the hype and let the science speak for itself. What's more, the French seem to contain the risks better than anybody else. Maybe there's something we should be learning from them.
