    Except, building 61 reactor a year runs out of uranium before the build is finished. It is a pipe dream.

    Common knowledge. Google is your friend. As a test, see if you can find 31% for CANDU reactors.

  5. Re:North Korea on Why James Hansen Is Wrong About Nuclear Power (thinkprogress.org) · · Score: 1

    So, basically you are asking for a new world order. Do you think North Korea should be in charge of it, or should it be controlled by it?

    You seem very confused on this topic.

    You are reading multi-junction as gallium arsinide. Also, you are misinformed on the rate of degradation of solar cells. Perhaps you are getting numbers for space applications.

    There is usually a distinction drawn between between direct democracy and a republic with selected rulers.

    Which is exactly what makes breeders unsuitable for civilian power production. That first step is a doosy.

    No, you've misunderstood. Our net electricity consumption stays steady but our gross energy consumption falls. http://www.eia.gov/electricity... Natural gas is more effecient than coal.

    Nuclear waste requires a permanent security state. In a security state, the Second Ammendment can not last because the people have to be considered the biggest threat. Cogent.... Now head off to troll land.
