When are you sleepy eyed fools going to wake up to the fact that if we were ever going to safely dispose of nuclear waste we would have already done so.

The only truly "safe" disposal would be launching it into the sun. Quite an expensive prospect.

Perhaps you should open our sleepy eyes to a viable alternative to nuclear energy that creates less waste and produces as much energy cheaply and efficiently? Or would you just have us all die, leaving mother earth to recover nicely.

Moonie you seem to have missed this one?

FYI Nuclear energy is completely un-competitive in cost with power generated by coal, gas or any other type of generation. It is only HUUUUUGGGGGEEEEEE government subsidies that entice any electric company to build a nuke plant.

I think you are overestimating the problem, there is permanent storage facilities that can hold it.

Don't think i don't know how your reasoning goes, it's like when they dumped barrels of mustard gas and nerve agents at the bottom of the sea, that is your reasoning, right? This is different. However, you are a man who have demonstrated your scientific prowess more than once and that makes me a tad nervous so get to the point and explain this to me.

I do get the theories about how increased sea levels can increase pressure on storage areas, i just don't think that it's going to do that in the next million years or so.

When you say I overestimate the problem what the heck do you mean? I see the problem as the fact that we are storing nuclear waste all over the place in leaky barrels etc and that we have not cleaned up all the mess in the form of nuclear waste we have already created. This is a fact. The waste has not been put in any permanent storage facility. What is is what will continue to be because nobody will allow nuclear waste to be stored in their state. The problem with nuclear is people. Mothers don't want the stuff anywhere near them. Your technical solutions to them are pure bull sh!t. If it were possible to store nuclear waste it would have been done. And until the mess we have has been safely stored you will know that all talk that it will be is crap. Actions speak louder than words. Clean up and then create more or be known for the delusional liars we are.

I disagree with you that the newer forms of storage would present the kind of problems that the old forms do, that is all i am saying.

You present an emotional argument to me, whether intentional or not, my daughter is probably going to have children and if she is following my lead (which children often do) then i'd become a grandfather before i'm 41.

I don't went you to get me wrong, i most certainly do not want this to affect them, you can surely realise that i don't want that?

I just think that among the alternatives we have of today it's a solution that will buy us some time, for some reason i have greater faith in humanity than you do, so be it though, i won't change your mind and you won't change mine.

We also have to look to science, did you know that we have one of the largest storage facilities in the UK, it's not like i'm not putting my money where my mouth is on this issue moonbeam, but the readings are lower than safe.

Coal or Nuclear, wind or solar will not get close in it's current form and GW is more acute if you ask me (not that you would, i'm no scientist, all i have is my opinion)

Do you ever do anything but bitch in a poor prose? I've never heard you put forth an idea, just half-ass criticize others.

Nuclear power is the way of the future. Personally I think nuclear waste isn't nearly as hazardous as it's made out to be. I wouldn't mind having a storage facility in my town.

How about in your own arse?

The only truly "safe" disposal would be launching it into the sun. Quite an expensive prospect.

Perhaps you should open our sleepy eyes to a viable alternative to nuclear energy that creates less waste and produces as much energy cheaply and efficiently? Or would you just have us all die, leaving mother earth to recover nicely.

Moonie you seem to have missed this one?

Yes I did. It's a great concept really except if the rocket fails and burns up on reentry. Maybe we can just store it in the Krakatau caldera.

Yup and those HUGE subsidies should be going to wind and solar, nano-tube capacitance batteries, etc.

I am no expert, but I have watched a few discovery channel (or maybe science channel, shrug) on Yucca mountain. It appears that we have a very good solution to the problem of how to store the waste.

From what I have read the environmentalists are all up in a tizzy over it though and are trying to get the project shut down. Instead of having the waste in one very safe spot that was designed specifically for the long term storage of nuclear waste I guess they prefer the waste be stored all over the country (at the sites that generate it I believe).

we do. there's really no reason for it to be shut down. there is no way anyone can become contaminated by the waste in yucca mountain. i had my mom explain it all to me a long time ago and i remember thinking, "well, then, what the hell's the big deal?"

environmentalists just don't like the idea because it seems unnatural, so they get bent out of shape.

Isn't that terrible. Perhaps you Mom can store it in her garage. I'm sure your neighbors won't mind. It's all very very safe. It should just be plain illegal to get bent out of shape.

?

it's nuclear waste. there are laws for containing it, storing it, and disposing of it. please explain how yucca mountain isn't a prime and safe location where it wouldn't harm the surrounding environment or people.

too expensive and the fact that there could be rocket explosion or something in mid-air or just outside of the atmosphere makes it an unsafe proposal.

In all fairness, whether you are aware of it or not, enough solar panels in Sahara could cover the energy needs of the world x3.

So yeah, there is an alternative, problem is wind, dust and cables.

Ever listen to Dark Side of the Moon? If not, maybe firing up a fatty and doing so would do you a favor?

Edit: fyi, I do know the difference between my penis and my nose. The fact that they have both visited the same place on occassion causes me no confusion.

JOS: I disagree with you that the newer forms of storage would present the kind of problems that the old forms do, that is all i am saying.

M: I don't disagree. I am saying that the fact that we have not cleaned up our waste is indicative of our real nature, that will poop with relish and hate to wipe.

JOS: You present an emotional argument to me, whether intentional or not, my daughter is probably going to have children and if she is following my lead (which children often do) then i'd become a grandfather before i'm 41.

I don't went you to get me wrong, i most certainly do not want this to affect them, you can surely realise that i don't want that?

M: The road to hell is paved with the best intentions. I see our intentions is what is. The nuclear mess has not been taken care of. It is a fact and a reality regardless of whether it is emotional or not.

JOS: I just think that among the alternatives we have of today it's a solution that will buy us some time, for some reason i have greater faith in humanity than you do, so be it though, i won't change your mind and you won't change mine.

M: Quite so, I prefer wind solar and tide, things that don't create deadly poisons that last thousands of years.

JOS: We also have to look to science, did you know that we have one of the largest storage facilities in the UK, it's not like i'm not putting my money where my mouth is on this issue moonbeam, but the readings are lower than safe.

M: My understanding is that no country in the world has successfully addressed the long term storage problem of nuclear waste.

JOS: Coal or Nuclear, wind or solar will not get close in it's current form and GW is more acute if you ask me (not that you would, i'm no scientist, all i have is my opinion)

M: It's a big problem and government subsidy of alternative energy and efficiency is a better answer, in my opinion. My faith in humanity is that we can do better than nuclear.

You mistake my point. The people of Nevada don't want nuclear waste stored there. It has an earthquake fault under it, also, so I have heard, but the issue is not what is safe but what will be done. The people of Nevada will do whatever they can to stop waste storage there. People don't want the waste around where they live. It doesn't matter how safe it is.

It is not an issue of less waste, it is the issue of radioactive waste that nobody wants in their own back yard. You don't drive through a river that has no bridge because it's a shorter route. Cheep power that contaminates the earth for thousands and thousands of years isn't cheep for the people of the future. Now if we had cryogenic storage of supporters of nuclear power who could be revived in the future and tried and punished for their judgment here and now today, it might be ok. But it's piggish to create waste that lasts thousands of years and see what we have done with it so far.

they don't want it there because they're ignorant. there should probably be more done to educate the people about it.

My penis has been to the moon in the past. She enjoyed it immensely too.

As far as nuclear fission goes, it will be a nice interim power generation method until we finally get a handle on fusion. We are getting closer to having fusion become a reality.

In related alternative energy news, Florida is talking about building the worlds largest solar energy power plant.

I don't think there is any education you can do to convince mothers their kids are safe around deadly poisons that last thousands of years, or no education short of genetic reprogramming.

If it can be done then you can count me as one on your side, you probably know that already but until it can, i'm for nuclear, there will be problems storing the waste but there are at least temporary (1k+) solutions to it.

For some reason you earn a great deal of respect from me while saying very little, maybe not so strange considering what i do and what i get stuck with if i don't get to a really good solution, like solar is to energy.

well, it's completely safe and doesn't cause harm in any way. the sun on your skin while wearing sunscreen causes more radiation than yucca mountain.

Why on earht would you nose fuck someone, penis not enough... well doesn't surprise me one bit since all you do here is trying to expand your e-penis, it won't help though, you'r both daft and have a small penis, there is no help for that, besides, i like pretty much everyone and i really don't like you, you seem to me like the slimey politician bastage who'd rape a woman and claim it was part of your strategy if you got caught.

I'm going to go brush my teeth now.

There you go, trying to be rational. Fear of radiation is not a rational issue. But it is a real issue and a real obstacle and the result is that nuclear waste is lying about everywhere. You might as well suggest Communism as the answer to human failings. It's a great idea, it just doesn't work.
