Swiss To End Use of Nuclear Power

mdsolar writes "Energy minister Doris Leuthard is set to propose Switzerland gradually exits nuclear power, two Swiss newspapers reported on Sunday, citing sources close to the government. The multi-party Swiss government was expected to make an announcement on nuclear policy on Wednesday and may recommend an exit. Switzerland's five nuclear reactors generate about 40 percent of the country's electricity."

    And you get that number by what? Anal extraction? Well, keep fapping about your reactors, while the rest of the world moves on and leaves you at third-world standards once more.

    That would be better than the current proliferation of nuclear power plants.

    Nuclear power plant workers are (I forget the exact number) something like 15x more likely to develop life-threatening vertebral subluxations. It isn't from heavy lifting as they're mostly desk workers and walking about with clipboards. It *must* be due to leaking high energy radiation from the plant. It's good for the chiropractic business. Ever notice how they're in every strip mall nowadays? There's a *need* for chiropractic care!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: the invention of radioactivity by that Madam Curree and her husband was the *worst* thing to ever happen to the planet and humankinds' spinal health.

    Take care,
    Bob

    Nice diversion. So you have no proof at all that this 40% cannot be replaced, but stated it as a fact despite of this. Then you call yourself being named a liar an insult? Nice one. Besides, after the discussions of the last weeks, I lost any respect for you nuclear apologists. You have no basis in facts, but an endless bag of deliberate lies. And then you dare to act insulted when being called a liar. Sure.

    Agreed, since you chose to get into a fit of righteous indignation instead of answering the initial question, it's indeed not worth the time "discussing" with you.

  5. Hydro is the most dangerous energy source by l00sr · · Score: 1, Troll

    Why would they want the infinite expense and risks involved with current nuclear?

    If nuclear risks are infinite, then hydro risks are at least 50*infinity! 94% of deaths related to energy accidents were caused by hydro, thanks to many catastrophic dam bursts. To be "fair", most of those deaths were caused by the Shimantan dam burst in China, which killed 171,000 people... but you never hear about that one, do you?
