Europe Warms to Nuclear Power
FleaPlus writes "The CS Monitor reports that for the first time in 15 years a European nation has started building a nuclear reactor, with six more likely to be built in the next decade. France is also planning to develop a safer and more efficient "fourth generation" reactor by 2020. This is in light of rising fossil fuel prices and a desire to reduce CO2 emissions. Still, a majority of EU citizens are opposed to nuclear energy, primarily for environmental reasons, even though nuclear power releases less radioactive material than burning coal."
Right. Try telling that to the folks who used to live in Chernobyl.
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
Radio-activity is such a complex issue, that I dare say no single Slashdot poster can succinctly summarize the arguments for and against it. I would say not even a high-schooler is so ably equipped.
We would all do well to study postmodern teachings and examine our perception of nuclear power.
And Israel will be left to its own destiny? You anti-semite!!!
The answer is to lead a crusade to liberate the oil from Muslim tyranny! Expell or otherwise remove the Arab untermenschen from the oil-rich lands and move good white (American, and possibly European) people into the towns and cities abandoned/cleansed. Death to Arabs! Death to Islam! Death to Allah! Seig Western society!
