Going Nuclear? Yes, If You Are Looking To Get Elected

Because we look for easy answers and easily forget our past...

Even under the best peak uranium conditions Nuclear only buys a little time and will have no negligible payback within that lifetime. However, even minor mistakes in the nuclear energy field could have a infinite detrimental impact on our people and planet.

 

Nuclear energy questions the public needs answers for:

  1. How much viable uranium exists for the worlds demand (and what will be the cost)?
  2. How much debt is the nuclear industry in (and how heavy is it subsidized)?
  3. What is the current state of safety and environmental impact or our existing facilities and waste?
  4. How much does it cost to run, maintain and regulate this industry vs. net energy gains (after -yield costs)?

Four simple questions with hopeless answers under the current state.
