Solar Power is the only safe nuclear power!
Read more about the sun here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun
It Lights Up Your World!
Nuclear Reactors are a Failed Technology reflecting humankind’s feeble and dangerous attempts to act as gods and try to replace the sun. But, there is nothing like the sun!
A simple but true statement. Solar Power is the only safe nuclear power. Could not agree more. No need for more nuclear stations, we already have one in space at a safe distance. Plus we still have much to learn on controlling and safety.
What a wonderful and poetic mini post. It is true on so many levels. Kudos to the author for making it so clear in so few words. Nuclear Technology and reactors are being built and operated by “technologists” who have not yet grasped the full understanding and dangers of radiation. Don’t mess with mother nature if you don’t know the consequences. Radiation is dangerous and all proponents should be brought to the UN Court for crimes against humanity. Basta
Short response to pro-nuclear emails, in case some were real concerns:
Regarding the irrelevant topic of skin cancer, Sunbathing was a historically short-lived fad, from which many will get skin cancer. Skin cancers caught in time are rarely fatal. The sunbathing fad is similar to the breast implant fad. People will get cancer from that too and of a worse sort. People have lost whole parts of their faces due to doctors experimenting with x-rays and gamma rays on acne. Skin cancer also has to do with fair-skinned people moving to warm climates. Traditionally people cover themselves with hats and long sleeves in the sun and take naps at noontime. Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun! [And Americans it seems, see below.] The real only relationship to the nuclear topic is people’s never-ending gullibility and silliness and that the nuclear industry adds to the risk of skin cancer as well as far more deadly cancers. We would be negligent if we did not point out that the fashion of sun-bathing developed around the same time as the atomic age. There may be a non-spurious relationship, warranting investigation.
The sun is going no-where in our lifetimes. It is there so we should use it!
Why add even more dangerous, deadly alpha, beta, and gamma radiation? That is silly at best and diabolical at worst.
Bringing up the sun as a red giant is even more bogus. Only the pro-nuclear lobby who think they are gods to destroy the world thinks that they will be alive billions of years from now when our sun becomes a red giant. Newsflash: you and we are not gods and will be dead in billions of years! Be fearful of the current danger of the nuclear industry, not something in billions of years!
The nuclear industry which for over 70 years has polluted the entire earth from mining, reactors, many more accidents than are ever mentioned, atomic bombs, and wastes and can only rehash earlier failed alternatives like molten salt reactors AND which has stolen unknown amounts from taxpayers to subsidize itself– probably trillions or more of dollars—and has come up with no solutions is a failed technology, period. Instead of investing in new materials for waste storage or monitoring the wastes, they lie about the dangers and pay lobbyists and buy-off politicians with campaign donations. They apparently buy off professors, as well. Chernobyl was not the same type of reactor as Fukushima. There have been melt-downs and partial meltdowns of many sorts in many places. Saying that only one type is dangerous flies in the face of facts and of the very nature of ionizing radiation. The new nuclear builds in the US, France, and Finland have been characterized by problems with rebar, concrete and welding. They have been called on this by their own pro-nuclear “watchdogs” which tells you how bad it is! So, even if there were a safer design the construction is not up to specifications and safer is still not safe; not worth the risks. Do your research. Go deep into the internet or a real library, not lazy surfing.
Better, go clean-up the mess at Fukushima. They need help. If you survive go work at Chernobyl, clean up all of the US, Australian, and African uranium mines and much more. You’ve over 70 years of mess to clean up. Don’t bother to return here spouting pro-nuclear industry anything until it is clean.
Pro-nuclear free speech advocates? Malarky! You have been corrupting the internet and playing confuse and deceive at such an excelerated rate that it is dizzying. And, even corrupting wikipedia to the point that they are trying to make people divulge when they are paid lobbyists. We hope that producers of bananas sue you soon.
During the Cold War those who worked in the nuclear industry and pro-nuclear professors (sometimes the same) were honest about the dangers of nuclear. There can be no “safety culture” where there are lies, cover-ups and intentionally methodologically flawed research.
For those who worry that the sun sleeps at night and cloud covered days, that is why there is sun storage and transmission. If solar can work in Germany and South Dakota it can work anywhere. The power of the sun also includes things like food-wastes and algae fuel. With transmission wires sunnier climates could light up the rest.
Scientists and non-scientists alike should be putting their heads to finding new innovative solutions and not creating more problems based on old failed technologies, like nuclear, which have had the benefit of endless funding for 70 plus years.
If you don’t want skin cancer then stay out of the noon-day sun, wear hats and long sleeves, wear white and sit under a tree or other shelter! Duh! Also stay away from other ionizing radiation. Check your moles frequently and have a dermatologist study them. Don’t buy into silly fads whether sun-bathing, breast implants or so-called “new” nuclear which is repackaged old nuclear!
This is how to dress if you must work outside in the sun:
Makes very much sense to me. Again logic prevails. A good point mentioned is that Nuclear Energy is a fad. Yes, still lingering on due to powerful lobby groups and personal financial interests. Bell bottoms, Platform shoes, Pet Rocks, Mood rings, Waterbeds and last and certainly least…Nuclear Energy….be gone. Guilty as charged. Freedom of speech and “innocence until proven guilty” do not apply to Nuclear Power. All proponents of Nukes should be brought to the UN Court for crimes against humanity. Basta
