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:
- How much viable uranium exists for the worlds demand (and what will be the cost)?
- How much debt is the nuclear industry in (and how heavy is it subsidized)?
- What is the current state of safety and environmental impact or our existing facilities and waste?
- 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.
