5 回覆由Recon Number 54編輯: 12/4/2014 4:47:37 PMI am impressed and intrigued by the current developments in Thorium Reactors which eliminate many of the downsides of Uranium/Plutonium fission (meltdown, waste, cooling, size, etc) and could easily provide power for a village or sectors of a town/small city. I am extremely curious about Lockheed's work on a "fusion reactor that can fit on a flat-bed". http://aviationweek.com/technology/skunk-works-reveals-compact-fusion-reactor-details For me the fear and arguments against fission are like those who are afraid of air travel. Though it is proven that both fission power and airline travel are many times safer and less impactful than other methods of power-generation/transportation, there are still risks and when an incident with them happens, it is going to be high-profile and strike people emotionally. Even though the alternatives (coal, oil, even solar for power and automobiles for travel) cause more pollution per mile/kwh and cause more loss of life per mile/kwh.

1 回覆We should have tons of nuclear plants in Mexico so should something go wrong it wouldn't be the worst place to have it happen. Nuclear power is as good maybe better than solar wind hydroelectric or any others

8 回覆I'm writing a research paper on it right now. Here is the break down, It can easily out generate coal and fossil fuels, but it is also environmentally friendly. Solar and wind sound cool but in America, which uses the most of those two than most countries, those only contribute to about 1% of all energy, even with all the media craze and government subsidizes. And here is another fun fact, people seem to think that electric cars are these zero emission solutions to global warming. Well if use electricity instead of gas, then the country will have to use more coal, which releases more pollution than oil does. And trust me you can't power millions of electric cars with renewable energy resources

1 回覆This is one subject I don't know a lot about, and I'm not going to front and act like I know a lot about it. From my knowledge, other than nuclear weaponry, we're better off with it this technology than without it - especially due to the rise in population. There are other forms of energy that are less 'volatile' I guess you could say, but they don't even compare to what you get with one single power plant.

1 回覆We should very much use it but we have to be careful with how much nuclear materials we use.

由Cultmeister編輯: 12/4/2014 4:45:29 PMNuclear is the best alternative to fossil fuels if we want to be producing the same amount of energy quickly. Solar, hydro-electric, wind etc are better for the environment but we need a lot more of them to get the same amount of energy as a single coal burning station. It may be only a quick(er) fix, but it's better than burning fossil fuels all day long waiting for progress in wind turbines or solar power.

Had to do a whole project on energy sources junior year. Nuclear is our best bet for now to power the country if we wanna get away from oil and natural gas. But as soon as the technology is ready and efficient enough when it comes to other green resources we should immediately cut back on nuclear
