"Dresden Generating Station is the first privately financed nuclear power plant built in the United States. "

Research. It works, bitches.

Did Fukushima not teach you shills for the nuclear industry anything? Nuclear energy is far from clean or cheap. The cost of a nuclear power plant exceeds the cost of electricity it will produce which is why there has never been a privately financed nuclear plant EVER!

Old nuclear power plants produce deadly, cancer causing, bone deforming, face-melting radioactive sludge that will constantly be a threat to every human in a 50 mile radius for 10,000 lifetimes, so obviously nuclear power has one extremely large and worrisome drawback in its current iteration.

>> ^Kreegath:

Old nuclear power plants aren't impervious to tsunamis and powerful earth quakes simultaneously, so obviously nuclear power is bad.

Because fossil fuel generation has always been relatively cheap up till now...

This clinging to the whole 'nuclear bad' schtick with little evidence to back it up is just getting old. Anyone who knows anything about solar cell production knows that it not only has many harmful chemicals at the manufacturing end but the panels themselves are dangerous at their end of lifetime if not properly disposed of.

Can nuclear power be dangerous? Of course. Is it a viable alternative for base grid load if we want to eliminate fossil fuels? Currently, it's the only alternative. Renewables are no where close to ready to take over base load and fusion just hasn't happened yet. Pick your poison, but think quick...

Always pointing out problems and hidden agendas. Never any solutions or objective observations.

Like everyone else, I see the world a certain way. It seems like I'm always argumentative and sometimes it's true, but if you're standing on a cliff's edge wearing wings carved from a styrofoam beer cooler and I say, 'I see the wings, but gravity will not go easier on you if you leap' am I "trolling"? Methinks NOT.

Others here said what I said in a different way: wind power is great in the rare places it can be harnessed, but overall the cost is too high for the output.

I can't please everyone, but know that it's nothing personal. My shins get kicked all the time around here. Expand your love to include love-to-hate

@quantumushroom
Neither, I just can't stand the fact that you talk out your ass all the time.

I'll grant that your puns can be pretty humorous tho.

Oh, so now this is funny? People have certainly changed their tunes from when i was putting cute faces and arms on footage of the Twin Towers coming down. Hypocrisy much?


Yeah, that's edgy -- but not as edgy as backing it with the Benny Hill music!
