What makes you think that we do not have the technology, experience, knowledge, and resources to build safe, efficient nuclear reactors? Nuclear + Electric Vehicles = Energy Independence.

Nuclear waste actually isn’t radioactive at all. And contains material already found in the earth. So yes…Bury it.

Once they find a way to safely and efficiently dispose of the waste, it will be considered a better system. Trucking it across the country to put in a hole in the ground doesn’t meet those requirements.

Exactly. The only but huge backdraw of nuclear power plants (nuclear waste). There is no real solution: launching it to space would be far too expansive. Buring it (what they do now) is not a solution either as an earthquake can move the waste to the surface – no mather how deep you dig it, as nuclear waste stays radioactive for hundred-thousands of years. You simply can’t predict an area’s seismic future for that long… So my vote goes for Wind Turbine.

What? A couple hundred gallons of Diesel is nothing, this turbine will be putting out power for decades.

what about the days before with the piling rig?

The pilings were poured a month early and I didn’t have my equipment up at the time. Wish I had though.

Actually it is radioactive; However, your right, the decay of radioactive elements heat the earth’s interior. So why not put the nuclear waste in the mantle where there are no living organisms to be effected.

You need both.

Nuclear is far more safe than you think. In fact, the older ones in use right now are more dangerous than the new designs that are in place. As soon as people stop thinking every nuclear reactor is going to turn into a Chernobyl or Hiroshima, the sooner we’ll get to clean, renewable energy.

But wind is still good. Love it.

Three Mile Island is the most over hyped nuclear event ever. Show me some reports the effects of that event. And look how every other power plant has responded to Three Mile.
