Does anyone else think that there needs to be a very large anti-nuclear energy movement?
Seems like I hear all kinds of plans being drawn up for new nuclear power, but the thing is it doesn’t even need to be built we can use green clean energy instead. Besides the danger from accidents and natural disasters nuclear is a prime target for terrorists, so why should these things be built? I feel like a ban on them would help kickstart green energy production allowing that industry to grow and it’s prices to drop.
Absolutely not! Nuclear power is really the only viable solution to global warming we have right now.
Other energy sources like solar and wind are fine, but they can’t even come close to providing the amount of energy needed. They can only be used to supplement a more reliable source like nuclear or coal.
I also think you’re drastically overstating the dangers of nuclear. Accidents like Chernobyl were due to older, low budget, Soviet-era construction. There has never been a single death from a modern reactor..
And I think the risk of terrorists obtaining uranium is far less than the almost certain dangers of climate change.
Green energy is and will continue to expand, but it won’t become a viable replacement for decades to come. We need clean energy now, before it’s to late. Nuclear can provide us with that.
