'No Quick Fix' From Nuclear Power

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it-couldn't-hurt dept.

humoly writes to tell us BBC News is reporting that while many are calling for nuclear power, new nuclear plants are not the answer to combating climate changes or the wavering energy concerns for the UK. From the article: "The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) report says doubling nuclear capacity would make only a small impact on reducing carbon emissions by 2035. The body, which advises the government on the environment, says this must be set against the potential risks. The government is currently undertaking a review of Britain's energy needs."

    Except that the waste you speak of isn't (mainly) generated by "nuclear power" it's generated by ineffiecient nuclear power because America is under the incorrect assumptions that:

    a)They're the only ones with the right to the bomb
    b)Nations reprocessing their own fuel == bomb goes to the bad guys
    c)The bad guys can be stopped from getting the bomb in the long run.
