NPR Story on the Future of Nuclear Power
deeptrace writes "The Living on Earth show on NPR recently had a segment on the future of Nuclear Energy. The nearly hour long show is available as an mp3 and in transcript form. It talks about hot fusion, cold fusion, and Pebble Bed Reactors. It provides a well balanced and informative overview of progress towards their use for future nuclear power generation. Most interestingly, they talk with Dr. Pamela Boss and Dr. Stanislaw Szpak at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego. Dr. Szpak says of their cold fusion experiments: 'We have 100 percent reproducible results'."
Amazingly appropriate nickname
I bow to your impressively bad analogies, and their accompanying bad reasoning.
Don't kid yourself. NPR is really a reactionary extremist right-wing mouthpiece run from a bunker underneath the White House. In fact, Dick Cheney probably wrote the script for that program to help his cronies at Halliburton. The liberal media bias is made up. It's actually a right-wing media bias. They want to destroy the environment and we can't let them.
Let's just kick this "clean" nuclear energy out the window. Nuclear plants produce some of the most toxic substances
known to man. (Plutonium comes to mind). And the US practice of keeping spent fuel in swimming pools next
to the plants doesn't seem like that great of a plan either.
Yeah, it's an insult alright - an insult that our tax dollars prop up the blatantly leftist NPR. You can hate Fox News all day long, but at least you have the luxury of not having to pay for it...
No, they're not advocating anything here. They're just informing.
For once
The problem is that rampant liberalism at NPR coupled with tax dollar subsidies is unacceptable in a pluralist society. Wake up and envision a sitaution where NPR was conservative and being supported by your tax dollars.
